About – Buffalo Police Explorers

Lifelong Skills and Mentorship

Exploring involves Discovery; not just seeing new things with your eyes, but gaining insights into yourself and the people around you. Explorers inquire, wonder, imagine, dream, and risk. They learn to respect and appreciate what it takes to be willing to discover, and what it takes to commit to a journey into the unknown. Explorers take on the challenge of change; within themselves, and those around them. The Buffalo Police Explorers is a sixteen-week program that runs between February and June. In this program we will be meeting twice a week; one of the days will be a fitness class and the other day will be a classroom lesson.
