 Success can start with you right where you are by taking the first step towards your future. Hello everyone, I'm Officer McCombs with the City of Columbia Police Department. And I'm Officer Zavala here to invite you to become a public servant for your community in the City of Columbia. Sounds intimidating? Don't worry, I've been in your shoes. Nervous about what the road ahead of you looks like? Uncertain of the right choice. Here at CPD, we're looking for the best and the brightest youth that is in this area. Specifically young adults between the ages of 14 to 20 who have aspirations to make a career in law enforcement. Join our Explorers program. We'll train you every step of the way. You can shadow skilled officers, learn leadership skills, discipline, team building, and how to conduct police investigations. We've had several veteran police officers complete this program and rise to the ranks of sergeant, captain, lieutenants, and even chiefs. If you're interested in being a part of the CPD Explorers program, visit the Columbia Police Department's website at www.columbiapd.net.
