      Have a tween looking to become more involved with the community? Learn leadership skills?

      By Melanie Hooks

      The Sierra Madre Police Department is launching Police Explorer Club #242, a new volunteer program designed for youth ages 10–14 who are eager to build leadership skills, serve their community, and explore potential future careers. The club offers hands-on experiences through participation in community events and Explorer competitions, giving young participants a chance to develop confidence, teamwork, and practical life skills.

      To join, applicants must maintain at least a 2.0 GPA and pass a school history check. An orientation meeting for interested families will take place on Thursday, April 23 at 6:00 pm in the City of Sierra Madre Emergency Operations Center. Parking will be available in the lot behind the police station, accessible from Mariposa Avenue, with entry located behind the tennis courts.

      For more information, families may contact Officer Jeanette Rodriguez at JRodriguez@sierramadreca.gov. The department looks forward to welcoming new participants to this engaging and educational program.
