The advisors guide the explorers by providing training on all aspects of law <br />enforcement including: defensive tactics, handcuffing, traffic stops, radio procedures and firearms. <br />The Explorers continually train to strengthen their knowledge and skills for the annual competition <br />which was held at Breezy Point on April 27 -30. Six explorers competed in seven practical <br />exercises that tested their abilities in interview and interrogation, conducting neighborhood watch <br />meetings, responding to a domestic violence situation, responding to a burglary in progress, <br />processing a crime scene which included fingerprinting, mapping and taking crime scene photos, <br />and a competition shoot. The explorers took first place in the "Suicide by Cop" academic event. <br />This unit logged 1189 volunteer hours in 2006. <br />Lino Lakes Police Department 2006 Annual Report 22 <br />• <br />• <br />
