Williamson County Law Enforcement Seeks Youth To Join Sheriff's Explorer Program

WILLIAMSON COUNTY, TX — The Williamson County Sheriff's Office is looking for young adults interested in joining the Sheriff's Explorer program.

Open to youth between the ages of 14 and 20, the program acquaints young people with the field of law enforcement as a potential future career for them to pursue. But even if a law enforcement career isn't pursued, the program offers life skills, character development and lessons in leadership, Sheriff Robert Chody said.

“As an explorer you will learn desire, discipline and determination," Chody said. "These skills are the key to success.”

Members also will experience criminal law, patrol procedures, crime scene processing, investigations, search and rescue, property control and team building, Chody added.

Those interested should call (512) 943-1323 or email kbomer@wilco.org between Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. A membership fee of $37 is due upon the application, and is good through December 2018, Chody said. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office will provide the uniforms worn during the program.
