___________________________________________________ Law Enforcement Explorer Training Exercise
___________________________________________________ The Marana Police Explorer Post will be hosting a training exercise for Law Enforcement Explorers between the hours of 5pm and 10pm on July 23rd and 24th. The training exercise is called “Night Moves.” Night Moves is a patrol simulated exercise for Law Enforcement Explorers. The Explorers will be assigned to teams and supervised by a uniformed Police Officer in a marked police vehicle. The teams will be dispatched to a variety of simulated calls for service in real world locations. The Explorers have to work the radio, navigate travel to the calls, investigate the calls, complete any necessary reports, and manage their own time. Night Moves is as close to the experience of being a Police Officer as anyone can get without being sworn in. We utilize Officers and Volunteer role players to be the victims, witnesses, and suspects for the scenarios. These scenarios will take place in the Gladden Farms and Dove Mountain areas. For safety, uniformed Police Officer will be at each location. This training exercise will involve Explorers from the Marana Police Department, Sahuarita Police Department, Tucson Police Department, and United States Border Patrol – Tucson Sector. The Explorer program is for young men and woman who are between the ages of fourteen and twenty, who are interested in Law Enforcement. If you have any questions regarding the Marana Police Explorer Program, or would like more information on this training exercise, please contact Officer Kevin Litten at (520) 382-2051 or visit the Marana Police Explorers Facebook page.
