The Dalton Police Department's Law Enforcement Explorers Program added some hardware to the trophy case over the weekend at a regional competition in Helena, Alabama.
The Explorers, who weren't told which events they'd compete in before the competition, placed first in the "Domestic Crisis" scenario, third in "Crime Scene Investigation", and fifth in "Burglary Response." The Explorers competed with teams from ten other law enforcement agencies in each event.
The DPD Explorers who competed in the event were Jordan Rittenhouse, Allexis O'Quinn, Isabel Mora, and Mikayla Ponders.
The Law Enforcement Explorers Program allows young men and women to gain training and experience in the law enforcement field. The program also provides opportunities for community involvement and development. Program activities center around law enforcement training, organized recreational activities and competitive events.
The Explorers must meet the following qualifications:
-
Must be 14 to 20 years of age
- Must maintain at least a "C" average, and must remain in school until graduation or obtain a GED
- Must attend regularly scheduled meetings, including physical training.
Congratulations to the Dalton Police Department's Explorers, as well as program directors Officers David Saylors and Daniel Jones for another excellent performance.
