​NE​WS & EVENTS​

Community Service

Posted April 25, 2014

 

Riverside Police Explorers perform a variety of community services such as: traffic control, fingerprinting children, and assist with community events and public interaction booths. Occasionally, Explorers are used to search for missing children, search crime scenes for evidence, pass out flyers or assist in major disaster scenes. Explorers do not participate in arrests, use force or carry out duties which are reserved only for peace officers. Riverside Police Explorers are not issued badges. Explorers are unpaid volunteers who may stop their service at any time and may be asked to leave the program at any time.

 

Ride-A-long

Posted April 25, 2014

 

The Ride-Along program provides Explorers with an opportunity to observe law enforcement field activity by accompanying a police officer on patrol operations. Patrol operations are defined as routine policing functions where an Explorer accompanies a law enforcement officer in a marked police vehicle, in/on special police conveyances (i.e., bike patrol, equestrian patrol, marine patrol or other police patrol conveyance with the exception of motorcycles, motorized personal watercraft or motorized personal all-terrain vehicles), or on foot patrol. The Ride-Along program, to Explorers, is one of the most attractive features of Law Enforcement Exploring. Most young adults consider the privilege of accompanying a law enforcement officer on patrol operations the highlight of their Explorer experience.
