Search and Rescue
This year the implementation of the Explorers Search and Rescue unit has progressed even further. This unit works in conjunction with OES to allow selected Explorers to participate in real world search and rescue missions. Currently 10 Explorers have completed the Search and Rescue Beginners Academy and are now certified Level IV Searchers. These certified Explorers have been able to help in several high priority calls to search for evidence and have displayed their commitment to the agency by always showing up when needed.
Rubicon Program
The OHV unit provided Explorers with classroom and hands on training in technical off-road driving maneuvers, in-field emergency vehicle maintenance and how to properly tow vehicles. Explorers participated in the Jeeper’s Jamboree vendor show and assisted in traffic control.
Color Guard
Showcasing our Post’s highest level of discipline and uniform appearance, the Color Guard took part in many events in the community to include leading parades, assisting with opening events and posting colors for funerals.
Regional Training Day
In August 2019, Explorer POST 457 hosted their 5th Regional Training Day. The event participants included 20 outside agencies and 500 participants. This event was a huge success, which included other explorer posts, military recruiting, law enforcement recruiting and different vendors. This year a kid’s zone was also added which featured airsoft, snow cones and a bounce house so that the law enforcement officers who were working could invite their families out for activities and lunch. Explorers participated in fourteen training scenarios giving each explorer the opportunity to test their skills in real life situations. The Regional Training Day started as a small community event and has expanded to the largest explorer event in Northern California. It has been an amazing way to expand our community and connect with our law enforcement family.
