Explorer Post 925 Wins Awards in Annual Explorers Conference
Edina, Minn., Oct. 31, 2017 – Edina/Eden Prairie Law Enforcement Explorers Post 925 earned multiple
awards at the 22nd-annual Minnesota Law Enforcement Exploring Conference in Duluth, Minnesota, in
October.
“We couldn’t be more proud of all of the hard work and time they put into preparing themselves for the
conference,” said Patrol Officer Nicole Frederick, one of the Post’s advisors.
The scenario-based competition required Explorers to act out, in teams of three, realistic scenarios related to
law enforcement. The conference is designed to keep Explorers current on their skills, challenge participants
and create an environment for learning. Post 925 took home several team awards, including:
Second place in crash reconstruction
Second place in crime scene search
Third place in traffic stops
Nine participants from Post 925 competed against approximately 200 other Explorers during the conference.
Explorer Post 925 is made up of approximately 25 Edina and Eden Prairie students interested in law
enforcement, ranging in age from 14 to 20. The Explorers learn firsthand about the law enforcement
profession through lectures, practical scenarios, ride-alongs and volunteering with the Police Departments.
Post 925 has several advisors from both the Edina and Eden Prairie Police departments.
Post 925 meets every Tuesday at the South Metro Public Safety Training Facility in Edina. For more
