Fire Department Explorers, Murrieta, CA. 92562

Murrieta Fire Department brings explorers in once a year, in June. Program is for young men

and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) or 15 to 20 years old. Young

people transitioning into adulthood are selected by the participating organization for

involvement in the program. Color, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, ethnic

background, economic status, or citizenship is not criteria for participation.

The purpose of the explorer program is to provide experiences to help young people mature and

to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Explorers are ready to investigate the

meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.

The Murrieta Fire Department has teamed up with Learning for Life to provide the young men

and woman in the area a chance to learn firsthand about the fire service.

Program Goals: Teach explorers about fire service, help with career path, teach respect to self

and others, create good citizenship, and leadership.

Without a good career path, it is almost impossible to get a job in the fire service. Explorers

learn about background investigations, oral interviews, classes needed, and the order in which

to take them.

Address: Fire Station One, 41825 Juniper Street, Murrieta, CA. 92562.

California Highway Patrol (CHP) Explorers, Riverside, CA. 92504

For the Inland Empire, the Explorer program takes place at the Riverside office.

There is not a start/stop time as applications are accepted throughout the year

for ages 15-21. The Explorers meet every Wednesday from 5:30 P.M. to 9:15

P.M. at Ben Clark Training Center (in the city of Riverside near Van Buren

Blvd and the I-215 freeway).

The Explorers are very active in the community and have 2-3 events each

month. Explorers are expected to be on time at every meeting and participate in

as many events as possible. Once accepted into the Explorer program, new post

members are required to attend three Academy levels within the first 18

months. These Academies will train the explorers in many different aspects of

law enforcement to make them better equipped for working with officers in the

field. Explorer Post members will learn radio codes, patrol vehicle operation,

traffic control, and several other subjects geared toward

preparing them mentally and physically for the anticipation of becoming a cadet

at the CHP Academy.
