Application

If you are between the ages of 14 through 21 and wish to become a Westland Police Explorer please fill out an application and submit when completed.

Your application will be reviewed and you will be contacted for an interview. Due to the nature of the Police Explorer Program, we will not accept anyone with a prior criminal history. Minor Traffic Violations will not disqualify an applicant; however, it will be addressed.

Following Review

After your application is reviewed and approved you will be invited to attend an Explorer Meeting.
