Law Enforcement Explorers Participate in 2008 Mock Disaster
On April 19, 2008, the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post participated in the 2008 Annual Exploring Mock Disaster. This
year’s exercise, hosted by the Parker Fire Department, included a simulated plane crash, collateral damage to cars and buildings,
numerous injured individuals and an armed suspect.
The training exercise was designed to test and improve the interoperability among multiple disciplines to include; Law Enforcement,
Fire and Medical Explorers. The exercise was also planned to test the Explorers abilities to function within an Incident Command
Structure.
As Explorers, these young adults are recognized as members of Citizen Corps through Volunteers in Police Service and Medical
Reserve Corps. The training they receive throughout the year, aids individual agencies and prepares the Explorers for regional
competitions. Many will take this knowledge and experience applying it in future roles as full time members of law enforcement,
fire or medical agencies.
