Visitors to the Marana Municipal Complex on a Monday afternoon may be surprised to see a group of young men and women running laps, or counting out push-ups. Their sweat-drenched gray shirts spell out in boldface type "Police Explorers," and that's exactly what they're up to: exploring the possibility of a career in law enforcement.

Throughout the year, this class of Police Explorers will participate in law enforcement exercises to practice their skills. They'll learn how to fill out official reports, manage high-risk traffic stops, and even negotiate in a hostage situation. More than anything, though, they'll learn about the culture of law enforcement in Marana to determine if this is a career path they want to pursue.

The Marana Police Explorers give aspiring law enforcement officers a chance to learn about one possible path for their future. They are making their mark on their community by learning how to provide "unparalleled service" and "unwavering protection" not just today, but for many years to come. They are part of what makes Marana an All-America City.
