The topics range from motor vehicle stops, domestic violence, and crime scenes, to name a few. Once a year, on the first Thursday in April, the Explorers host an open house at the Police Department. This is promoted a month in advance in the local media. The evening is designed to provide you with an overview of the Exploring Program, a tour of the Station and to meet Advisors and Explorers. Everyone is welcome.
Explorers work very hard during the year to be eligible for awards.
An explorer may have to donate 100 hours of his or her time to the community or department in order to receive one award. There are ten awards that explorers work towards, called Proficiency Awards. The awards are certificates or ribbons worn on the uniform. These are the events that explorers work at. During the course of a year, they direct parking at the Haunted House and Odyssey of the Mind.
