<br />~ <br /> <br />CIRCLE PINES-LEXINGTON POLICE EXPLORERS <br /> <br />In 1996, we completed our third year as an Explorer post with about fifteen active members. <br /> <br />We sent twelve Explorers and two Advisors to the Annual Minnesota State Explorer Conference held at Breezy <br />Point Resort. The Explorers did a great job and represented the Department well. <br /> <br />We sent four Explorers and two Advisors down to Flagstaff, Arizona, for the National Explorer Conference. <br />We had the opportunity to meet Explorers and Law Enforcement Professionals from across the Country. The <br />training was great and it was an experience that none of us will soon forget. <br /> <br />We again supplemented our own training by interacting with Explorer Posts from Anoka and Hennepin <br />Counties. This enabled the Explorers to get to know other Explorers and to be trained by many different <br />instructors. We also got together with the other posts for a lock-in and a ski trip. <br /> <br />In 1997, we hope to send three teams and three Advisors to Breezy Point. In order to help pay for these <br />conferences, the Explorers have been working hard to raise funds by working at the Viking's games, helping out <br />at the Burnett Golf Tournament and raising money through a bowling fund raiser. <br /> <br />The Explorers have volunteered many hours helping our Department and the cities that we serve. They have <br />volunteered their time, working the local parades, bike patrol, A TV patrol, assisting with city functions, ride <br />alongs, training, etc. <br /> <br />This Post could not continue without the support of the Chief and all the Officers that take the time to help train <br />and allow the Explorers to ride along with them. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Explorer Post Advisors <br />Officer William Michael <br />Community Service Officer Cindy Elotson <br /> <br />- <br />
