Thank you for your interest in the Columbia County Sheriffs Office Explorer Post. This program is designed for students 14-20 years of age who are interested in law enforcement.  As a member of the Post you will be able to experience many aspects of law enforcement to include hands on training with the CCSO Special Response Team, the Detention Center, Road Patrol, Investigations, and the Special Operations Division. The hands on training is utilized at competitions where you'll not only compete against other Explorer Posts, you'll have the opportunity to meet Explorers from Georgia and other states throughout the southeast.

Along with the training aspect of the Post, we will also enrich your life by participating in community service projects.  We assist with the Special Olympics, school functions, and other worthwhile events throughout the year.  We also invite state and federal law enforcement agencies to come and speak about their job requirements and daily activities.

We constantly stress the concepts of teamwork, self-esteem, life long learning, and service to the community.  So even if you're not interested in a law enforcement career, the Post offers many opportunities and worthwhile experiences.

Mission
To introduce high school students to the basic fundamentals of law enforcement, and to develop lifelong skills that will enhance their personal lives and the communities where they will ultimately reside.

Vision
To provide training through classroom instruction, individual and group projects, practical exercises, and the CCSO ride along program.

We will instill discipline by enforcing a code of conduct, a code of ethics, and a uniform dress code policy.

Through this vision, the Columbia County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post 63 Program will create an environment for all high school students to enhance their overall knowledge of county, state, and federal law enforcement.

If you have any questions please contact Deputy Chris Robertson by e-mail or at (706) 541-2051.
