DATE: 11-19-02 <br /> <br />ITEM NO. 11 <br /> <br />Explorer's News Article <br /> <br />The Riverside Police Department's Explorer Post recently made an impression at the <br />"Explorer Academy" held at the Ben Clark Training Center in Riverside. The academy <br />started on Sunday morning, August 11th and went through Saturday afternoon, August <br />17th. A total of 125 Explorers from numerous agencies across California attended this <br />once a year event. Of the 125, the Riverside Police Department sent 7 Explorers <br />through the basic and advanced academy classes. <br /> <br />This academy is a one-week training program designed to assist teenagers who hope to <br />have a career in Law Enforcement. The Explorers are required to spend the night during <br />the weeklong live-in academy and are exposed to a military style training environment. <br />This training emphasizes the importance of teamwork as the Explorers are exposed to <br />Academics, Practical Scenario's, Physical Training, Firearms Familiarization and much <br /> <br />more. <br /> <br />On the final day of the academy, all 7 RPD Explorers received certificates of <br />completion at the graduation ceremony held inside of the Landis Auditorium at the RCC <br />Campus. In addition to the certificates of completion, Explorer Patrick Chasse received <br />an award for being the class "Guide-on". The Guide-on is selected by the Tactical Staff <br />during the academy and is considered the leader of the 90 plus Explorers in the basic <br />academy class. Explorer Juan Villa also received an award for being a "Team Leader" <br />during the basic class. Explorer Samantha Buckwald, along with her Explorer partner <br />from another agency, received an award for their handling of a scenario involving a <br />"Mentally Disturbed Subject". Explorer Kristopher Hargis, along with his Explorer <br />partner from another agency, received an award for their handling of a scenario <br />involving an "Unknown Traffic Stop". Explorer Stephen Balisky was the only RPD <br />Explorer who participated in the Advanced Academy Class, which had a total of 30 <br />Explorers. Explorer Balisky received awards for "Outstanding Marksmanship and <br />Time" during the Firearms training course. He also received an award for "Outstanding <br />Time" during the Bicycle Patrol Obstacle Course. <br /> <br />In all, all seven RPD Explorers did an outstanding job, not only in their performance at <br />the academy, but by representing the City of Riverside as well. Most teenagers their age <br />don't get involved in volunteer work when they are not in school, not to mention during <br />their summer vacation. But these young men and women are just a few of over 30 RPD <br />Explorers who unselfishly volunteer their time and efforts on an on-going basis to serve <br />the community they live in and prepare for their future at the same time! <br /> <br />For more information on the Riverside Police Department's Explorer Post, please call <br />(909) 351-6159. <br /> <br />11-1 <br /> <br /> <br />
