Explorer Program -The 2007 -2008 Lino Lakes Explorer Post had 17 members <br />ranging in ages from 14 — 20. The Lino Lakes Explorer Post trains in several areas <br />including interview and interrogation, traffic accident investigation, traffic stops, <br />street decisions (shoot /don't shoot), domestic crisis, crime prevention, arrest and <br />search, hostage negotiations, emergency field first aid, white collar crime and <br />burglary response. At the State's 2008 Police Exploring competition at Breezy Point, the Lino <br />Lakes Explorers had 16 participants and competed in several practical competitions. Among <br />the hundreds of teams participating in the events, we are proud to say that one of our teams <br />placed 3rd in the interview and interrogation competition. Another Lino Lakes team placed 5th <br />in an academic session entitled "riot control." Additionally, two Lino Lakes Explorers obtained <br />individual awards in the pistol shoot and the 5K run. <br />In addition to the state competition, the Lino Lakes Explorers assist our department, and others, <br />with many needed functions. They help out with delivering neighborhood pamphlets and other <br />"door to door" duties. They also participate in the National Night Out celebration and the Lino <br />Lakes Police Department Open House. Furthermore, in 2008 they assisted the Blaine Police <br />Department with parking and security at the 3M Golf Tournament. The Explorers have donated <br />2,898 hours to the department in <br />2008. <br />This year the State's Police <br />Exploring competition will be <br />held in Rochester. The Post plans <br />to have 14 members and four <br />advisors attend the competition, <br />which is on April 23rd through <br />April 26th <br />Chaplain Program —The volunteer Chaplains <br />are a valuable part of the department.
