Many former TPD Explorers go on to be TPD Officers. This year is no different. Please join us in congratulating former Explorers Caitlyn Cochran and Luis Zuniga! As of today, they are officially on their own working for the citizens of Topeka. Congrats Officers! @ExplorersTPD

Just because we have to stay home doesn’t mean our Explorers can’t meet on a Monday. It wasn’t the most traditional of meetings, but we’re all grateful to be able to see everyone that attended. Stay strong, Explorers!

She went from Explorer Cochran to Officer Cochran, as have many other past Explorers. If you know a teen interested in a law enforcement, TPD Explorers may help that interest blossom into a career at TPD.

Had a good time at the Boys Scouts of America Donner Breakfest this morning. My daughter participated in the panel of what Scouting and Explore programs have meant to them and how being in those programs have impacted their lives!

A busy morning for the TPD Explorers! They assisted with handing out surveys to downtown residents and employees about police presence in the area. This is just one of many ways that the explorers assist TPD!
