The Tukwila Police Department has an active Police Explorer Post, offering the youth of Tukwila and the surrounding area an opportunity to learn the many different facets of law enforcement. This program builds self-esteem as well as teamwork, cooperation and respect. The program is open to youth between 14 and 21 years of age.
Besides meeting twice a month, the Explorers also participate in many community events, such as the D.A.R.E. Dash, crime prevention programs, domestic violence awareness events and SeaFair. They are continually asked to participate at various fund-raisers and charity events. The Explorer program also offers Explorers academics, camp-outs and numerous challenges and competitions with other posts from the northwest, as well as other fun events.
For more information about Tukwila's Police Explorer program, contact the Police Department at 206-433-1808 and ask for one of the Explorer advisors. If they're not available, leave a message and they will return your call.
