The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse Tribal
Police department is proud to be the first Tribal Police Exploring
Post In the state of Oklahoma, as well as just one of the few
in the United States.
Law Enforcement Exploring is a program created by the Boy Scouts
of America, for young people, boys and girls, with an interest
in law enforcement as a possible career. The program is designed
to give those that join a hands on experience in law enforcement.
The program is also a way to get young people involved in their
communities through the community service that the post takes
part in; this also shows the communities that the youth do care
about their community.
CHARACTER BUILDING
Although character development is primary a parents responsibility,
it is also contributed to by the law enforcement. The explorer
who wears the uniform or insignia that identifies him/her as
being associated with the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Lighthorse
Police Department is held to a far more rigid standard of conduct
than his/her peers, Explorers are judged by the law enforcement
personnel and quickly learn that only the highest standard of
conduct is acceptable.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
Through their experience, Explorers learn and practice leadership
skills similar to law enforcement personnel. Those Explorers
in leadership positions within the explorer post learn the realities
of being responsible for all subordinates’ achievements and
short falls.
