Hendry County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post #642

There are so many memories with the Explorer's it is hard to pick one. All of my favorite memories seem to involve the amazing advisors who took the time to mold me into the person who I am today! I am beyond excited that I now get to be involved in the molding of the future Leaders of Law Enforcement.

Once when a few of us were practicing our drill competition routine (that we ended up getting first place in later on) someone called the Sheriffs Office on us thinking we were a bunch of teenagers fighting. After Deputies showed up with lights and sirens we all had a good laugh when they realized we were Explorers.

Going to the boot camps and conferences and getting to network with other posts around the state was the best! Those friendships followed me into my career and it's great to be able to keep up with former Explorers who are now current law enforcement.
