Santa Barbara, Calif. – The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office congratulates their Law Enforcement Explorers who participated in the 10th Annual Central Valley Law Enforcement Explorer Competition in Tracy, California. The competition was held last weekend and host to 27 Law Enforcement Explorer Posts representing Police, Sheriff, and Highway Patrol offices throughout California. During the scenario-based competition, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Explorers had their knowledge and tactics of the career field put to the test. At the core of every situation, the Explorers had to demonstrate their knowledge of criminal law and its application.
This year, Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 32, which is based in Northern Santa Barbara County, took top honors at the competition earning 1st place overall. This was a testament to the tireless and rigorous training the Explorers have endured over the past few months in preparation for this event.
