Welcome
Sponsored by the Willoughby Police Department for over 26 years, Law Enforcement Exploring Post 602 has provided an educational resource for young males & females that are interested in law enforcement as a future profession. Exploring is a division of the Boy scouts of America- Learning for Life. Started under direction of then Chief William Crosier, the program continues the tradition under Chief Conrad Straube. Volunteer officers, dispatchers, and clerks provide training and supervision on station and in the community. A very large percentage of explorers determine that law enforcement is a profession worth pursuing, and go on to study criminal justice and law enforcement in college. Willoughby police explorers have grown to become police officers, state troopers, federal agents, military police, business persons, and productive members of the community. 
We are very proud of them all!
