The LAPD plans to launch its own Explorer program for young people this month, removing the Boy Scouts of America from management, officials said Tuesday. The Police Commission voted two months ago to end its relationship with the Scouts because of the organization's policies that discriminate. The program had been operated by the Learning for Life Foundation, a subsidiary of the Boy Scouts. The move to create the Los Angeles Police Department's own teen program should be launched by Jan. 1, 2000 "We think once the LAPD breaks away, other agencies will as well. "The biggest challenge in creating the program has been raising money, but more than $25,000 has been collected so far to help cover the costs of uniforms, badges and patches. The Explorer program was ended . Now is call Los Angeles Police Cadets.
