Exciting News from the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post! Our dedicated HCSO Explorers had an incredible experience at the Duluth Explorer Conference, hosted by Fond du Lac Community College. This event brought together numerous Explorer posts from across the state, and we are proud to say that our Explorers truly represented Hennepin County with exceptional skill and enthusiasm!

Yesterday, 15 of our Explorers divided into four teams and competed in 5-7 challenging events, showcasing the hard work and dedication they’ve put in. Their commitment to learning and growing in the field of law enforcement truly paid off!

🏅 We are extremely proud of our Explorers and their achievements! If you know a young person interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement, or if you’d like to learn more about the explorer program, please visit our website.

Thanks to the Hennepin County Sheriff Foundation, who continue to raise the necessary financial support for our Explorers to participate. If you would like to contribute and support their efforts, please consider donating at SheriffFoundation.org.
Let’s continue to inspire the next generation of law enforcement leaders! The results of the competition are as follows:

In 2012 The Explorer Post was lucky enough to start a partnership with the Chester Bird American Legion Post #523 for their monthly Steak Dinner. This partnership allowed our Explorers to learn about service, hard work and commitment. Tonight we were honored and privileged to receive a donation from the Legion for $10,000!!!! This is the single biggest donation we have ever received and will continue to allow the Explorers to grow and prosper in everything that we do.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to the Chester Bird American Legion Post #523
