Law Enforcement Exploring, commonly referred to as Police Explorers or Police Scouts, is an American vocational education program that allows youth to explore a career in law enforcement by working with local law enforcement agencies. Founded on July 12, 1973, it is one of the Exploring programs from Learning for Life, a non-Scouting affiliate of the Boy Scouts of America. The program is generally available to qualified young adults who have graduated from 8th grade and are between the ages of 14 and 21.

Learning for Life (LFL) coordinates the Law Enforcement Exploring program at the national level. LFL provides resources, including advisor training, sample policies, and insurance. LFL also hosts a biannual conference and competition, the National Law Enforcement Explorer Conference.

A local law enforcement agency charters local explorer programs. At least one officer from that agency serves as the post's "Advisor". This advisor is responsible for department-level administration of the program and ensuring that the program meets the department's objectives.

Most posts maintain a command structure mirroring that of the hosting agency.

Each post is unique, and the activities of each depend on their specific department's policies and guidelines. Typical activities include:

The academy ends with a graduation ceremony where certificates (such as CPR certification) and awards are given.

Some systems may provide different levels of academic training, such as:
