Mayfaire By-the-Lake is happening TODAY & TOMORROW! 🦢🚔

Come visit the Lakeland Police Explorers Post 602 at Booths 38 & 130 where we’ll have ice cold water available for a $2.00 donation. We are also accepting additional donations to help support our Explorers as they work toward attending delegates, competing at state, and reaching their big goal of securing their own program van.

Swing by, say hi, and help support the future of Lakeland’s youth and law enforcement community! 💙🖤

Huge thank you to Police Service Dogs, Inc.—and Laz—for the generous donation of three pallets of water to support the Lakeland Police Explorers! 💙🚔

Catch our Explorers at Mayfaire by the Lake on May 9th & 10th, where they’ll be selling ice-cold water for $2 and accepting donations to help fund their mission.

These Explorers put in work year-round—training, serving, and preparing for delegate trips and state competition—all while working toward a big goal: securing their own program van. This van will be a game-changer for getting to trainings, events, and competitions.

Swing by, grab a water, and support the future of our community. Every bottle helps fuel the next generation of leaders. 💧✨

🚨🚔 EXPLORER SPOTLIGHT 🚔🚨

BIG moves from Explorer Mitchell-Marr 💯🎓

She just graduated from Polk State College with her Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice—and if that wasn’t enough… she was also the 2024 Valedictorian when she earned her AA from Polk State Gateway to Collegiate. Talk about setting the standard 👏

She’s not slowing down either— Explorer Mitchell-Marr is locked in on becoming a Public Safety Aide to keep building experience before reaching her ultimate goal of becoming a Lakeland Police Officer 🚔

Driven. Focused. Built for this.

The future of law enforcement is looking strong 💙
