The Charles County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 1658 offers young people between the ages of 14 and 20 who are interested in law enforcement the opportunity to learn about police work and acquire skills used by police officers.  

Explorers participate in community service events, fingerprinting, traffic and crowd control assignments, neighborhood crime watch events and searches for lost children. Other activities include the National Explorer Conference, ride-alongs with Sheriff’s deputies, an annual awards banquet and group trips to Georgetown Hoyas games, Washington Capitals games, the National Zoo, Six Flags and Gilbert Run Park. Explorers have also traveled to New York through an Explorer Exchange program with the New York City Police Department.  

Explorers Post 1658 was established in 1986. Exploring is a division of Learning for Life, which is a subsidiary of Boy Scouts. Meetings are held the second and fourth Monday of every month between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. at North Point High School.
