Members of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post #10-4 participated in the 2008 Regional Competition held at Regis University between June 27th and July 1st.

The Douglas County Explorers competed with over 150 other Explorers from all over the United States. The competitions were wide-ranging and included many functions that a regular patrol officer would be expected to accomplish, including: Shooting, High Risk Traffic Stops, Domestic Crisis, Report Writing, Bomb Scene
Investigation, just to name a few.

Seven Douglas County Sheriff's Office Explorers attended: Sixto Jaramillo, Claire Yakabe, Dylan Harnish, Brandon Harnish, Patrick Lamb, Kieth Newby, and David Marquez. Claire Yakabe placed 1st in Report Writing, 2nd place in the Obstacle Course, and 5th place in High Risk Entry. Dylan Harnish placed 1st in the Domestic Crisis category and Explorer Sergeant Sixto Jaramillo place 3rd in the High Risk Entry category.

Explorer Post # 10-4 is an all-volunteer auxiliary sub-organization of the Boy Scouts of America. This effective program allows young people, aged 14 to 20, who are interested in exploring law enforcement as a career, to interact and train with sheriff's deputies. The Post also performs numerous service and volunteer functions throughout the community.

The next time you see the McGruff Crime Dog at a neighbor function, you know that the person in the suit is a (very warm) Explorer.

The Post is accepting new Explorer applications. If you meet the age requirements, are attending high school, and interested in an exciting career in law enforcement, come join us. For more information e-mail explorer@dcsheriff.net or call Deputy Ann Walton at (303) 814-7001.

Sheriff Dave Weaver said, "I am very proud of Post 10-4 and the dedicated deputies who devote their time, energy, and experience to help these young people realize their law enforcement goals. We are privileged to have several former Explorers serving with the office."
