Law Enforcement Explorer Post 312 is a division of the Boy Scouts of America and is sponsored by the City of Warren Police Department. The intent of the Explorer Post is to educate and involve youth that are interested in police work. Through involvement, the Explorer Post establishes an awareness of the complexities of police service. Post members learn through hands-on training and are given the opportunity to use the skills. The Post recruits members, elects officers, and plans programs. The Post is run by its elected members.
 
 
 
   
Explorer Post 312 meets at the City of Warren Police Department on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
