FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Explorer Post 925 Places in Statewide Competition
Edina, Minn., May 6, 2013 – Edina/Eden Prairie Law Enforcement Explorer Post 925 placed in five
competitions at the 38th-annual Minnesota Law Enforcement Exploring Conference last month in Rochester,
Minn.
Post 925 placed second in the “First Aid” and “Crime Prevention,” fourth in “Use of Force” and “White
Collar Crime” and fifth in “Slow Fire Pistol” competitions.
More than 130 Explorers teams from Minnesota and surrounding states competed at the annual statewide
conference, working through scenarios that reflected real life law enforcement situations such as burglary
response, interview and interrogation, white collar crime and first aid.
Explorer Post 925 is made up of 26 Edina and Eden Prairie students interested in law enforcement. Members
range in age from 14 to 21. The Explorers learn firsthand about the law enforcement profession through
lectures, practical scenarios, ride-alongs and volunteering with the police department. Post 925 is part of
a national program that includes more than 33,000 Explorers and 8,425 adult advisors.
Post 925 meets at 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday at the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility, 7525 Braemar
Blvd., in Edina.
