Police Explorers are private citizens, usually juveniles, with no special powers or privileges. Explorers aren't permitted to have, or carry, any equipment that any other citizen can't lawfully possess.
Added: All the above being true, although it is definitely ALWAYS at the discretion of the sponsoring agency, many Police Explorer units DO wear an equipment belt (sometimes called a "duty" belt) on which they may carry, keys, whistles, handcuffs, and (sometimes when engaged in traffic control duties for which they are sometimes used at large public events) a two-way radio and case, and a personal cellphone. These would be the most that these Explorers might 'officially' be allowed to wear or carry. They are NOT authorized to carry any weapons of any description.
