Police Explorer Program
The
Hollister Police Explorer program is designed for career oriented
young adults who are interested in becoming a police officer
or working in the field of law enforcement. By attending
monthly meetings and participating in special activities,
Supervised by full-time Hollister police officers, the Explorers
gain first-hand knowledge of the police officer's job. The
program also promotes personal growth and development while
providing a positive service to the community. The Explorer
program is affiliated with the Boy Scouts of America, who
provide insurance and other support functions.

a minimum "C" average with good attendance in
the school they are attending

The
Hollister Police Explorers attend meetings on the first and
third Monday of each month at the Police Department.
Activities include law enforcement related classroom training,
practical field exercises, firearms orientation and safety,
and participation in special events. Among these events are
the San Benito County Fair, parades, golf tournaments, and
other community activities where the Explorers perform traffic
