The Huber Heights Police Explorer Post #57 has been in operation
since May of 1979.
The Explorer Post is headed by the Advisor, Mark Bruns,
and is assisted by Associate
Advisor Officer Curt Green.
The Explorer Post is currently staffed by twenty young
people, ages 15 to 20.
The Explorer Post prepares young men and women for a career in
law enforcement. Explorers are instructed in police procedures, law, and hands-on experience by riding with police officers
on a tour of duty. They participate in many different police and training functions throughout the year. These functions are
designed to let them experience various areas of law enforcement under close supervision. These functions may include providing
security, crowd and/or traffic control at public events, evidence collection, searches, and national gatherings to compare
knowledge and experiences with explorers from other departments. Last,
Law Enforcement Explorer posts help promote the growth and development of adolescent youth.
In July
2008, the Huber Heights Police
Explorer post attended the
bi-annual National Law
Enforcement Exploring Conference
in Fort Collins, Colorado, where
they competed with over 4800
other explorers throughout the
nation. As one of the
competitions they competed on,
was "Hostage Negotiations"
sponsored by the FBI Hostage
Negotiation Team. The four man
team from Huber Heights Police
Explorers placed 5th place in
the nation for this, and we are
proud to say this has been the
first group to ever place
anything at nationals since the
post's operation.
The four
man team consisted of: Captain
Danny Tucker, Lt. David Pfiffner,
Sgt. Zach Williams, and Sgt Zach
Miller! (The names and ranks of
the above named explorers were
effective as of July 2008)
