The Antioch Police Explorer Post is an interactive program co-sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America designed for young men and women between the ages of 14 and 21.
The program teaches the basics of Law Enforcement to those interested in a future career in the Law Enforcement field and allows them to give back to the community by using some of their skills at different events in the Village such as assisting with traffic control during parades and attending Shop with a Cop.
Explorer Post Members regularly perform ride-alongs with various Officers, which further enhances their understanding of Law Enforcement. Many Law Enforcement topics are covered in the program including: traffic stops, traffic accidents, building searches, SWAT tactics, drill & ceremony, evidence collection, and control tactics.
Explorer Post meetings are held every Thursday at 7pm and further training is held on various dates throughout the year.
For further information on the Explorer Post, please contact Post Advisor Sergeant Garcia at 847-395-8585 or ngarcia@antioch.il.gov
