An annual awards night is held to honor the Explorers and the dedication they have shown to the Redding Police Department Explorer Program and the community. The highest award presented to an explorer is the "Explorer of the Year". The Redding Police Department Explorer Program also provides non-hazardous law enforcement experience to those young people who have demonstrated sufficient interest by active participation in the Post activities. These activities include, but are not limited to, traffic control, Ride-Along program, and assistance to the Police Department in auxiliary services (such as a search for a missing child or the collection of evidence from a crime scene). Other fun activities the Explorers participate in are group camping trips, pizza parties, and a Christmas party.
