Exploring-Recognition in the City

Greater LA Exploring Division was invited to participate in Bell Garden’s City Council meeting on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, by Police Chief Fairfield. Chief Fairfield was honored that two of their Explorers received scholarships through our Exploring Program. He wanted the Explorer Gonzales and Flores-Pinto to be recognized on a grand scale for their hard work. 

The support that Exploring provides our partnering organizations truly is noticed in the city, county, and state. The City of Bell Gardens has decided to allocate funds to support the Exploring Program for many years to come. The City’s way of giving back to our young people that are participating in an amazing program. Many members of the Bell Gardens Police Department are a result of the Exploring Program and continue to mentor the new generation.
