Founded in 1980, the Potomac Boundary Advisors Association is an organization comprised of Police Officers and Sheriffs' Deputies who serve as their agency's law enforcement exploring program advisors.  Members of the PBAA work together to enhance the level of programming provided to their explorers.

Hundreds of law enforcement explorers benefit from programming provided by the PBAA.  With agencies from Central and Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia, explorers are introduced to several different styles of policing. 

 Programming includes leadership development seminars, social activities, and academies designed to introduce explorers to what they can expect at a real police academy.  Explorers build life-long friendships and establish valuable contacts with other agencies that aid them as they prepare to enter a career in law enforcement.
