It develops a fundamental understanding of police procedures, duties and concepts. As part of their training, Mesa Police Explorers participate in a wide variety of community service, while working with members of the police department.

As a non-profit organization, MCPAAA is proud to accept your donation to help fund activities of Explorer Post #2055, such as helping them to be able to attend conferences and competitions around the state and country.

M.E.S.A. Program

The M.E.S.A. Program is a partnership between the Mesa Police Department and the Mesa Unified School District. Two nine-week after school sessions are offered during the school year. Making Every Student Accountable (M.E.S.A.) targets 13- to 15-year-old at-risk students who exhibit a variety of behavior or disciplinary problems and/or gang association or involvement. The program combines physical fitness and classroom instruction to build self awareness, good decision making, life skills and leadership skills.
