Lee County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post 18

​

This past weekend Explorer Post 18 attended the March Delegates of the Florida Sheriff’s Explorers Association in Palm Beach County. The group competed in firearms and received training in Crisis Intervention, Stop the Bleed, Traffic stops and a presentation from the Medical Examiner.

We are pleased to announce that Explorer B. Feitoza placed 3rd in the Tyro division, as he is a new shooter. Explorer Sergeant L. Hinspeter finished in 1st place in the classification of Marksman and Explorer Sergeant L. Carlton was top shooter overall in his last competition as he leaves for the Navy in June.

The Explorers and Advisors were able to visit Air Force One on Saturday after a long day of training.

Fun times at the aquarium last night followed by a great but long day of competition. Learned a lot and had a great time. Can’t wait to do it again next year.

Over a three-week period, the Explorers volunteered 200 hours combined to collect money for the “Shop with an Explorer” program. The unit selected 21 children from Lee County to participate in the program. Each child was teamed up with an Explorer to shop for themselves and anyone in his or her family at the Target store located in the Forum. Each shopper received a $150.00 gift card, once they purchased the gifts they were wrapped, with the help of the Explorer and team member from the Target. The kids were then turned back over to their families with all the gifts ready to go under their tree.
