The New Smyrna Beach Police Explorers is an organization that instills in the youth a sense of community spirit.
 
The Police Explorer organization is a great alternative to drugs, alcohol, and gangs, a great opportunity for the youth to learn and make positive choices in his/her life and succeed.
 
Some of the duties of a Police Explorer are:

 

  1. Direct traffic and parking at events
  2. Security at events – “be aware”
  3. Ride with NSB Police Officers
  4. Car washes for fundraisers and charity events
  5. Hand out “Drug Free” literature at events (for instance the Red Ribbon Rally)
  6. Regional Service Projects: landscaping, clean-up

 
The Police Explorer will be traveling throughout the state through a program called Florida State PAL (Police Athletics League) and YDP (Youth Directors Program) and will have the opportunity to meet motivational speakers and heads of major corporations.  At these events, the Police Explorer will learn how to speak to large audiences and how to perform his/her duties while running events.
