The West Chester Police Department Explorers program offers young men and women an opportunity to participate in training and work side-by-side with officers as they consider a future in law enforcement. The West Chester Police Explorers recently competed in the Southwest Ohio Regional District Law Enforcement Explorer Competition with 16 other agencies, winning third place in the “Burglary in Progress” category. The contest involved various scenarios with Explorers given a mission to accomplish. In the “Burglary in Progress” scenario, Explorers had to enter a building where a burglary was reported and tactically search as a team for those suspects involved and place them under arrest. “Explorers has taught me a lot about leadership and team work and also how to interact with others under different situations,” said Josh Massel, captain of the West Chester Post. “At a young age, Explorers helped me learn about my career path and meet so many great people in the police department. It’s been an extremely valuable experience.” Eight young men and women participate in the West Chester Post, a part of the Dan Beard Council of Boy Scouts of America. Members of the West Chester Police Explorers Post are: Captain Josh Massel, Sergeant Brian Frederickson, Officer Emily Gee, Officer Tommy Kramer, Officer Bradon Lovejoy, Officer Jenna Peddicord, Officer Rachel Peddicord, and Officer Connor Mullen. Advisors to the program are West Chester Police Lt. Barry Walker and West Chester Police Officer Jeff Newman.
