The Milford Police Department established the Exploring Law Enforcement Post 29 in January 1997 under the direction of Chief Vincent W. Liberto. The Post is dedicated to the memory of Officer Edwin Gonzalez, Jr. who served the Milford Police Department as a Police Officer during the late 1980's. He died as result of injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in September 1990. The number 29 was Officer Gonzalez's badge number at the time of his death.

The Milford Exploring Program is an educational program designed to give young people between the ages of 14-21 a look inside a career in law enforcement. The Post is affiliated with the Learning for life center/Boy Scouts of America. All Milford Explorers are expected to maintain high academic and attendance requirements. As representatives of the community, the Explorers are also expected to conduct themselves in a professional and courteous manner at all times.
