    How do I Join?

    You may begin your road to becoming a member by attending the next upcoming meeting! New members are WELCOME at EVERY meeting. Although you will not be issued a uniform until after you have been accepted as a member; we ask that all prospective members please wear khaki pants and a collared shirt when attending our meetings.

    After you have attended (3) meetings and get a good understanding of what the program is about and what we will expect of you as member; you will be allowed to submit an application for membership. That application will then be processed within 2-4 weeks by the Police Officers who are Post Advisors. The officers will conduct a background investigation to ensure that you are eligible to become an explorer.

    Finally, you will be notified by an Advisor or the Explorer Captain of your acceptance into the Post. At the next meeting you will be sworn in as a member of the Elmhurst Police Explorer Post #66.
