Law Enforcement Explorers Program (LEEP)

The LEEP involves children between the ages of 14 and 18.  The program is under the direction of the Boy Scouts of America and gives youngsters an opportunity to explore law enforcement as a career.

Recruitment begins when school starts in August. 

District 1 (Downtown Honolulu), District 3 (Pearl City/Waipahu), and District 8 (Kapolei/Waianae coast) participate in the program. 

LEEP is recognized as a school club and has a school advisor. 

The explorers receive basic training in October and advanced training in March.

The explorers perform valuable community service projects for both the public and private sectors.  The participants gain insight in law enforcement as a career in a way that is not readily available to the public.  The program currently involves about 50 students and is hoping to expand to the other police districts.
