 Teamwork, and much more
Attendance during the program is strictly enforced, and each Cadet will be required to maintain monthly training hours
after graduating the Academy. Outstanding moral, ethical, and professional behavior is mandatory while the Cadet
represents the Copperas Cove Police Department and the City of Copperas Cove. Every Cadet shall act as a positive role
model to the citizens of Copperas Cove, both on and off “duty”.
The Explorer Program is a great opportunity for our Cadets to begin a strong foundation for a career in criminal justice
and will assist them in becoming successful and productive members of society. The Copperas Cove Police Department
firmly believes that with hard work, due diligence, compassion, and understanding, you can contribute towards keeping
the City of Copperas Cove a safer and more enjoyable community.
