Lynnwood Police Explorers Post 911 recruiting new members
 Lynnwood Police Explorers Post 911 members recently established a garden with the Lynnwood Adopt a Garden program.
LYNNWOOD,
WA (July 16, 2015) - Lynnwood Police Explorer Post 911 is currently recruiting new members for the team. Police Explorers are students from 14 to 21 years of age who have
an interest in Law Enforcement.
The
group’s mission is to educate and involve high school
age youth in police operations and to expose department personnel to the
positive side of youth with the goal of promoting community service and a
positive image of the police department to all youth in the community.
Explorers support the department by performing specific duties and
assisting at police events. Some of the Explorers training includes: crime
scene investigation, building searches, traffic stops and report writing, along
with police ride-a-longs.
Post 911 was formed in March 1996 and currently has 16 members
ranging in age from 14 to 21. We are
currently recruiting for several openings for the 14-19 age group. Lynnwood
Police Sgt. T.J. Brooks leads a team of 5 advisers who act as mentors and
role models for the Explorers.
Post 911 meets three times per month and provides training on a variety of law
enforcement related topics. In 2014 post members participated in approximately
1,700 hours of law enforcement related training and volunteer service during
activities that include:
- Patrol
Ride-Alongs
-
Washington
State Explorer Adviser Summer and Winter Academies
- S.W.A.T.
Training
- Community
events including Cops & Kids and National Night Out
The Explorers Post is a great way for young people to investigate
law enforcement as a career path, gain valuable team building skills, build
self-confidence and contribute to the community in a positive way.
