Explorers Program

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Explorer program is for youths between the ages of 14 to 21. Members of this group are permitted to ride with Sheriff’s Deputies on the road division, work with 9-1-1 dispatchers in Communications, and assist the Jail Staff in the Jail. The Explorers participate in many community events and assist with functions such as the Johnson County Fair and different holiday festivals. This program is a great way for youths to determine if law enforcement is the right career path for them to take. Members of the program who are still in Secondary School are required to maintain minimum grades requirements to continue participation. Interested persons should come to one of the monthly meetings, held on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm in the basement of the Sheriff’s Office:
