The Round Rock Police Explorer Program introduces young men and women to the police profession and acquaints them with the nature and complexity of law enforcement. The program encourages them to seek careers in law enforcement, while giving them a solid foundation upon which to build if they pursue a law enforcement career. The program also provides a prospective employer with a source of evaluation -at little or no expense- for an Explorer that seeks employment as a Police Officer.
