Explorers from post 1742, 2252, and 505 participated in the Autism Awareness Fair at the Fairfax County Police Department's Range. They assisted with parking and interacted with several adults and kids on the Autism spectrum.
The Explorers have not only been working hard in the classroom, they have also shown great improvement in physical fitness. The students are taught to do their best and never give up, even when they are pushed to the limit. Explorers, your advisors want you to know how proud we are of all of you for persevering and showing true grit as we challenged you physically and mentally. #futurewarriors #unstoppable
Explorers volunteered at the National Police Week 5K. We then ran the race to honor all fallen officers, especially those who served with the Fairfax County Police Department. After the race, Explorers participated in the annual Explorer Wreath Laying Ceremony at the National Law Enforcement Officers’ Memorial. This year's honoree was the late Corporal Jamel Clagett who worked for the Charles County (MD) Sheriff's Office and was a former Explorer Advisor. Corporal Clagett died in a single-vehicle accident at the end of his shift. #NPW5K #PoliceWeek2017 #gonebutnotforgotten #heroes
Explorers have been busy participating in community outreach projects this Spring. We love to connect with our community not only through service but also education. If you would like the FCPD Explorers to assist with an event in your community, please contact the Crime Prevention Officer at your local district station.
Explorers were given the opportunity to experience the department's Youthful Driver program. This class is facilitated by FCPD Driving Instructors who teach students how to respond to dangerous road conditions, as well as other risks and realities of being a teen driver.
Youthful Driver is open to any Fairfax County resident with a valid driver's license between the ages of 16 and 19. For more information, please visit: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/traffic/youthful-driver-program.htm
Explorers from Post 2252 assisted with the Second Annual Ides of Bark at Grist Mill Park in the Mt. Vernon District. Dog lovers throughout the county came together to register their pets, watch demonstrations by the FCPD K-9 Unit, and participate in other fun activities.
Explorers were interviewed today by WJLA ABC 7 News about their CPR/ First Aide training. The students were able to talk about the life saving techniques that are taught in our program and how they can be utilized at home and school.
