The Broward Sheriff’s Office Tamarac District introduced its Police Explorers program during the April 7 commission meeting.

The Explorers were disbanded in Tamarac during COVID and have been brought back. During Broward Public Schools’ spring break, ten teenagers aged 14 to 18 participated in a training program.

The Explorers meet on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Tamarac district headquarters, 7515 NW 88th Avenue. Led by Deputy Louis Masucci, they learn basic law enforcement procedures, operations, and participate in physical fitness.

“This is an opportunity for young people to learn about law enforcement. Some may eventually apply to the police academy, and we will help them go through the process. In addition to these benefits, the Explorers also develop leadership skills,” said Masucci.

Reflecting on the program’s return, Mayor Michelle J. Gomez said she was glad to see the Explorer program returning to Tamarac.
