Law Enforcement Explorer Post 987, sponsored by the Clay County Sheriff's Office, was formed in 1980 to develop a more positive relationship between law enforcement officers and the youth of the community.

The purpose of the Explorer Post is to provide a better understanding of law enforcement careers through training and education to the members in the various areas of law enforcement.

The Explorers conduct various community serviceprojects and assist the Sheriff's Office with responsibilities throughout the county. Explorers have the opportunity to observe and assist in all phases of law enforcement -- communication, patrol and detention. Dependable, courteous and professional are characteristics exemplary of Law Enforcement Explorer Post 987.
