Delaware State Police Explorers members attended the National Law Enforcement Exploring Conference held in Atlanta, George the week of July 19, 2010.

During this week long conference State Police Explorers compete against other Explorers from other Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies around the country. During this conference Explorers compete in Non-Emergency Vehicle Operation Courses, Physical Agility competition, and Police Bicycle Course challenge to name a few.

This years Conference was attended by over 2700 participants who along with competing in competitions attended courses of instruction and demos in tactical training. At the conclusion of the week the State Police Explorers Post #2852 out of Troop 4 attended closing ceremonies and received a 2nd Place award in the White Collar Crime Scenario. Three teams finished with a perfect score and the final standings determined through a tie breaker format.

For those not familiar with the Delaware State Police Explorers group they are comprised of young people ages 14-20 years of age. Most of the students involved have an interest in making Law Enforcement a career choice.

Explorers have monthly meetings throughout the year and are provided courses of instruction related to Bomb Threat Assessment, CPR, and Burglary in Progress, Community Service, Domestic Dispute, Collision Investigation and conducting traffic stops to name a few. The explorers not only receive classroom instruction but also hands on application of subjects studied.

Explorers finally can be noticed at community service events throughout the state involving Camp Barnes, Delaware State Fair, Special Olympics and Punkin Chunkin.
