Salinas Police Explorers Post #201
The Salinas Police Department's Explorer Program, Post #201, began in
the 1960's. Lt. Yoneyama, now retired, was one of the first S.P.D.
Explorers. The program is supported by the Salinas Police Department,
Salinas Police Activities League, and the Boy Scouts of America.
To qualify as a Salinas Police Explorer, you must be between the ages of 14 and your 21st birthday. You must attend 3 to 4 meetings or training events consecutively and undergo a thorough background check. You must also maintain a "C" average if still in high school. We meet every Tuesday from 6:00 P.M. - 8:30 P.M. Most uniforms, equipment, and training are provided. You will gain first hand knowledge of how a police department functions through its daily and always changing environment. Some events we regularly participate in are the California Rodeo (including parades), the Salinas Airshow, the Marina 5k Road Race, and Soledad Fiesta Days. We also work several different events at Laguna Seca to include the Moto GP and Spirit West Coast. Our responsibilities at these events include parking/traffic control, basic security, and side by side assistance with members of the Salinas Police Department and other law enforcement agencies. Every year the Explorers go on an annual fun trip. In years past we have gone paintballing, skiing at Dodge Ridge, Magic Mountain, and camping. We have competed in competitions involving Explorers from other departments. We attend the Central Coast Explorer Competition in Paso Robles, CA. There are other competitions we compete in where the locations change yearly.  
We attend a week long Explorer Academy each year held in the San Diego area. This is a basic training academy specifically for Explorers. The academy includes lodging, food, and uniforms. This is an intense training similar to that which is attended by actual police recruits.
