There are several types of Explorer Posts, from police, to fire and
emergency services, to veterinary, and finally to legal agencies that all take
part in competitions that are designed to test their skills and knowledge on
subjects pertaining to the organizations they represent.
The Canton Police Explorers received a fourth-place finish
in Officer Down, seventh-place in Robbery in Progress and placed tenth in
Unknown Trouble.
“We are so proud of how well our Explorers competed and the
effort they put into training for the competition. Our Explorers were very professional and
