Funding For Explorer Program ;3FF RFNCES ENCLOSURES: The purpose and objectives of the Miami Police Explorer Program is to provide the young men and women of the Miami area an opportunity to gain an insight into a career in law enforcement,' and to stimulate interest in and give consideration further training and education for a law enforcement career. We wish to instill within the Explorer a genuine wish to demonstrate desirable habits, attitudes, and practice as contributing members of society. We want them to explore as many phases of law enforcement as possible in order to assist them in selecting the area they would best excel and be happiest in, and to work towards the development of character, good citizenship and a strong healthy body. All Police Explorers, after being accepted into the program undergo training in a basic Law Enforcement Academy. This formal training is followed by classes once a week at the Miami Police Station. After they pass tests of their knowledge and maturity, they continue they're training on riding assignments with different sections of the Police Department. Explorers also assist police personnel in crowd, traffic, and pedestrian control, football games, parades, bicycle races, walk-a-thons, and other public events. The Explorers fulfill an important role in the drug awareness and prevention movement by informing the youth of the community about the perils of substance abuse. This knowledge is disseminated through classroom presentations and distribution of drug information booklets at many community, events. The Program will be a continuing program for years. I am therefore requesting re -funding of the program in the amount of $50,000.00. (Attached please find the proposed program budget) JG:emv Attachment 03- 253 Raul Martinez L.E.T.F.
