Explorer Post 173 had an incredible showing at the 2026 David Paris Memorial Explorer Competition! 🚔💪
Our post brought two teams who had the opportunity to put their training to the test in a wide range of scenarios, including intoxicated driver, family disturbance, robbery, burglary, crime scene, active shooter, suicidal subject, hostage negotiation, and more.
All of their hard work paid off! Team one earned 2nd place in the Felony Traffic Stop scenario and 3rd place in the Officer Down scenario. Team two brought home a 1st place medal in the Domestic Disturbance scenario!
In addition to team events, our explorers competed individually in a fitness obstacle course. Congratulations to Logan Hammond for earning 3rd place, Ella Dupre for tying for 1st place in the girls division, and Vishwak Gunnamreddy for taking 1st place in the boys division! 🏅
We are incredibly proud of our explorers and the dedication, discipline, and teamwork they continue to demonstrate.
