Explorer Program:
Lakewood Station’s explorer program is a personal development, career exploration and community service program tailored for young adults between 15-21 years of age.
The program’s purpose is to provide experiences to help young adults mature, prepare them to become responsible and caring adults and explore a career in law enforcement.

Explorers learn about a law enforcement career by assisting the station and its Deputy Sheriffs with non-hazardous duties such as staffing the station lobby, writing reports, completing administrative tasks, conducting public fingerprinting, "Operation Kid Print" fingerprinting, performing traffic control and crowd assistance tasks at parades and civic events, and assisting with neighborhood crime notifications, search missions and related field operations.

Explorers work at Lakewood Station, the cities within the station’s service area and occasionally in other parts of Los Angeles County assisting with special assignments, such as parades, air shows, conferences and expositions.

Explorers gain first-hand knowledge and develop practical law enforcement skills through participation in patrol ride-alongs, tactical training, and competing in law enforcement competitions.
Explorers improve mental, emotional, social, ethical, physical and leadership life skills, by undergoing academy training, being mentored by Deputy Sheriffs, working with fellow explorers, conducting explorer post operations, fulfilling assigned station details and participating in special training programs such as the Explorer Leadership Institute.

Explorers are non-compensated but completely insured while in training and on duty. New members are expected to furnish their own uniforms and equipment upon acceptance into the Program
Initial training for new Deputy Explorers takes place at the Sheriff’s Department academy located at 11515 South Colima Road, Whittier. The Explorer Academy consists of approximately 184 hours of instruction during 18 weeks of training on Saturdays.

Subjects such as community relations, criminal law, demeanor, firearms safety, narcotics control, police procedures and weaponless defense must be mastered. The trainees are required to undergo drill and physical training as well as their classroom work.

Satisfactory completion of the Academy earns the Deputy Explorer ten high school unit credits. In some cases, college credit can also be earned by post-graduation Academy involvement.
Minimum Qualifications

• Have at least a "C" average in high school.
• Be between the ages of 15 and 21 years of age.
• Be of good moral character.
• Not have a serious arrest record.
Physical Requirements:
Applicants for Deputy Explorer and other arduous positions must meet the following physical standards:
• Vision: Correctable to 20/30 in each eye.
• Color Vision: Anything other than minor hue impairment is disqualifying.
• Hearing: There must be no greater than a 25 dB loss in the better ear as averaged over the test frequencies of 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 Hz. There may not be a peak loss at any of the test frequencies greater than 30 dB at 500 Hz.

Deputy Explorers must meet the same basic physical requirements as a Deputy Sheriff. The selection process involves a passing grade on an oral interview and a medical examination.
If you think you want to become a Law Enforcement Explorer, and you feel that you meet the minimum qualifications, contact the Deputy Donald Pollaro, Lakewood Station Explorer Advisor at (562) 866-9061.

Lakewood Reserve Program:

The volunteer Deputy Sheriffs of Lakewood Station Reserve Company 13 have been have been proudly serving the cities of Lakewood, Bellflower, Paramount, Artesia and Hawaiian Gardens since 1958. If you are an area resident interested in a unique and rewarding way to assist your neighbors and maintain the quality of life of your community, we invite you to join us!

Reserve Deputy Sheriffs are utilized to supplement the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department law enforcement manpower. Like full-time Deputies, Reserve Deputies are professionally trained free of charge and duly sworn peace officers. In most cases, Reserves are assigned to the same duties as full-time Deputies. Since Reserve Deputies have the same powers of arrest as full-time Deputies, they are required by law to meet the same hiring, background, medical and psychological standards as full time Deputies.

Lakewood Station’s reserve company is part of the Sheriff’s uniform reserve force. Uniformed Reserves perform general law enforcement duties, including responding to calls, traffic control and collision investigation, crime investigation, crime prevention, disaster response and participation in local and county-wide civic events. After initial training, Reserve Deputies volunteer a minimum of 16 hours of law enforcement duty each month, attend a monthly meeting and participate in civic events. Hours are flexible.

For those who are able to meet the rigorous training and initial time commitments, the program offers a unique, meaningful and personally fulfilling community service opportunity. As a first step towards your goal, I would like to invite you to one of our Reserve Recruitment Nights. Knowledgeable Reserve Deputies will be on hand to help you learn more about the program, or you may start the application process by taking the written examination. For your convenience, Reserve Recruitment Nights are conducted:

• On the first Tuesday of each month, 6:30 – 8:00 at
Lakewood Sheriff’s Station
5130 North Clark Avenue
Lakewood, CA 90712
(on Clark just north of Del Amo)

• On the third Tuesday of each month, 6:30 – 9:30 at
LASD S.T.A.R.S. Center
11515 Colima Road, Room H20
Whittier, CA 90604
(Telegraph Road At Valley View)

Should you have any further questions, please call Sergeant Kit Armstrong, Lakewood Station Reserve Coordinator, at (562) 866-9061

VOLUNTEERS ON PATROL

The Volunteers on Patrol have various responsibilities, primarily non-hazardous duties, which are currently being performed by patrol deputies. The program will, therefore, allow patrol deputies to perform the more hazardous duties they have been trained to do, thus helping our Department to better achieve its goal of serving the community. Listed below are some examples of the duties that members may be performing:


* Patrolling the community for criminal activity or safety hazards.
* Residential Vacation Checks.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
VOP training is required and will be provided before field assignment. This includes volunteers in vehicles and foot patrols.

To maintain the VOP’s skill and expertise, the minimum 16 hours per month of deployment time is required. This also includes training and meetings. This requirement is for the safety of the Volunteer and others around him or her, and for liability issues for the Department and County.


VOLUNTEERS ARE NOT A DEPUTY SHERIFF!! They do not place themselves in a position of danger. As a Volunteer on Patrol member, you will not carry any type of weapon and you are not expected to enter into a physical altercation with anyone. As a patrol member, you will always work with at least one other partner. This is for their safety as well as the safety and responsibility of the Department.


Station Volunteers are recruited and trained to assist station personnel in a variety of jobs, including data entry, filing criminal reports, Follow- up on missing person reports and assist the community relations office.

To learn more about becoming a Volunteer contact the Volunteer Coordinator at (562) 920-5123
