Pensacola Explorer Post #107

Pensacola Explorer Post #107 Motto: Today's training for tomorrow's future. Training today's youth between the ages of 14 to 21 www.learningforlife.org

A police Explorer is a young adult between the ages of fourteen and twenty one that is interested in the field of law enforcement. The Explorer is exposed to a plethora of scenarios within the field designed to allow a no-risk hands on approach of being a patrol officer. From traffic stops to domestic violence, bomb threats and hostage negotiations, the Explorer not only plays the roll of a street

cop, but is trained and expected to understand the states laws and the rules behind what they can or cannot do. Throughout their tenure, many other life long skills are developed. Communication abilities are enhanced, not only with the likes of different people they come across, but also with their team mates. Being able to work well along side a variety of personalities and ideas is a well sought after trait in any working profession that dedicated young adults can take with them long after they leave the program. Community events take a large seat up front, continuously showing Explorers that they can strive to do better in life, not only for themselves, but for others around them. By receiving an explorer as an applicant for a sworn law enforcement position, a department ideally has someone that has the basic knowledge of the patrol function and has been involved with the program for about eight years. The potential to excel and be a step above is high, having already been influenced by dedicated officers, consistent training, and familiarization with police tactics. Police Exploring is well worth an investment in any department. The Pensacola Post #107 has weekly meetings every Tuesday from 6pm to 8pm that are held at the police department. We attend several weekend competitions thru out the year as well as a week long police academy designed solely for explorers. After completing a six week probationary period, Explorers are outfitted in uniforms as funding permits. The Explorer must be able to provide their own transportation to and from meetings and events and maintain a minimum of a "C" average in education. Explorer posts are affiliated with Learning for life and are co-ed.

It's pretty small, this piece of metal. Fits in one hand. Usually silver, maybe gold colored. Some come in the shapes of stars, some in oval and still others in the shape of a shield. It only weighs a few ounces yet can be as heavy as the weight of the world. The badge of a police officer joins together many men and women as a united family, many of whom have never heard or have seen each other before. It sits on the officer's chest directly over the heart. A police officers badge represents hope, faith, dedication and much more. But what keeps it pinned there? What makes it stay? Love.

This past week our explorers discussed body language of a suspect. Officer Palmer went over furtive movements and how an officer can react faster to a situation by "reading" a person.
