Good morning!  The Washoe County School Police Department is NOW accepting applications for next year’s Police Explorers Program.  This class is offered on Monday evenings at 6 PM.  At the end of each semester, students who have successfully completed the requirements will earn half of a credit through the supplemental credit office.  The School Police Explorer Program is combined with the Reno Police Explorers Program.   A few topics this program covers include: The History of Law Enforcement, radio traffic, case law, building searches, traffic stops, drug laws and ride along opportunities. 

 

Posters have been hung up in all the High Schools.  There is a barcode located on the lower right corner that will direct students to an online application.  Informational handouts are also available in the Corral.  There are eligibility for enrollment requirements along a commitment to complete 35 hours of community service per semester.  Students are given the opportunity to work with other local agencies throughout the semester to help complete their community service hours.   Have a Great Day Damonte!
