SONOMA COUNTY, CA – The California Highway Patrol's Santa Rosa area is seeking men and women, 15 to 21 years old, who are interested in a future career in law enforcement to join the local Explorer program.

The Explorer program, designed to develop skills and knowledge to serve the people of California through discipline and commitment, assists the CHP both in the office and out in the field. Experience obtained is directly applicable to a future in law enforcement while building relationships, not only with other Explorers, but also with the community.

Explorers receive physical fitness training, medical training, organizational and clerical training. As an Explorer, you'll attend community service events, staff DUI checkpoints, participate in ride-alongs in the field and compete in Explorer Competitions.
