Six of our Explorers are getting the opportunity to compete this weekend with the Topeka Police Department. There are 11 events such as Active Shooter, Burglary in Progress, High Risk Traffic Stop, etc. One of our Explorers has put in 3 years of work for this weekend while the rest have worked hard for a year. Their hard work is about to pay off. Wish our Explorers luck! 🚔
