Police Explorer Post shines in weekend competition.
Pomona Police Explorer POST 160 participated over the weekend in the 2015 Ex-Con Games in Las Vegas, NV. This is a highly competitive Explorer Competition with approximately 34 teams from California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah in attendance. The Explorers, ages 15-19, performed well individually and as cohesive teams in various law enforcement related categories. This was the first competition for the majority of this new group of Explorers and they exceeded our expectations.
With the support of each other and their dedicated Police Officer Advisors, our Explorers were able to achieve the following awards in several scenarios;
1st place- Female Obstacle Course; Sabrina Valle.
3rd place- Team Vehicle stop
5th place -Team Active Shooter
1st place- Male Advisor/ Obstacle Course; Police Officer Mike Lee
Police Chief Paul Capraro expressed his pride and appreciation for these dedicated Pomona teens and Advisors that volunteer thousands of hours a year to make Pomona a safer community.
It is our hope that these outstanding young adults pursue their careers in law enforcement in the community where they have already given so much. Pomona Police Explorers have a long and successful history of becoming Pomona Police officers and members of other law enforcement agencies as well as the military.
