Here’s what your colleagues and former Explorers are saying about Exploring…

“I myself was an Explorer with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office before starting my law enforcement career back in 1993. I credit the success of my law enforcement career to my getting involved at 14 years of age with the Explorer Program.  The access, knowledge, and training you have available through the Explorer Program will give you great insight into this wonderful profession.”

Jim Gilbert
Fraternal Order of Police President
Columbus Division of Police Sergeant

"We welcome the opportunity to expose high school students to Engineering as a viable and exciting career choice – one that uses their brain and creativity to its fullest.   Engineers are always pushing the boundaries of technology to solve problems to improve the human as well as the economic conditions that are a part of daily life.”

John Merrill, PhD
Director First-Year Engineering Program, OSU

"Exploring is an awesome program that has given me an inside look at the career fields I am interested in – aviation and law enforcement.  From plane flights and flight simulators to law enforcement training at the Columbus Police Academy to tours of cool places like  NetJets, MedFlight, the Port Columbus Tower, and the Columbus Police Helicopter Unit, the opportunities have been incredible! The experiences I have had through Exploring have inspired and impacted the direction of my future. I highly recommend the program and encourage students looking for insight into a career area to join an Explorer Post – or two!”
