SOUTH TUCSON , Ariz. — The South Tucson Police Department is looking for recruits ages 14-21 to join the Explorer Program . The program gives youth and young adults hands-on experience serving as support for South Tucson 's officers.
The program immerses them in the day-to-day experience, teaching them morals, values, discipline, and good ethics. Valdez added while it gives them experience in this line of work, it really prepares them for any career they choose. “I was very quiet at first, but once I felt comfortable, it kind of felt like hanging out with my brothers, actually,” said Explorer David Bravo.“Since I was a little kid, I've always wanted to become a police officer,” he said.
Shonk's father, Kevin Shonk, is currently working for the South Tucson Police Department. He was in the Explorer Program in the 1980's, and is a big reason why Izeyah Shonk chose this career path.
