Explorers Post #295


This program is designed for motivated and service-oriented young men and women, ages 14 to 20, who have an interest in the law enforcement field. The Explorers attend weekly meetings where they receive training in all avenues of law enforcement. They assist in a variety of police community outreach programs, as well as participating in regional Explorer competitions yearly. The program provides an opportunity for youth to gain personal satisfaction, enhance their leadership/teamwork skills and make a difference in their community. Police Explorer Post competed in the 11th Annual Chandler Arizona Tactical Competition. They competed against 40 Posts from around the United States. LB Explorer Post placed 2nd and 4th in the Advisor 3-mile Run; 3rd place in Tactical Scout; 4th place in Hogan's Alley (shoot don't shoot scenarios); and 4th place in Explorer 3-mile run. The Explorer Scout leader is Detective Lisa Schumaker, assigned to the LBPD Youth Services Bureau.
