Twelve Orange County Sheriff's Explorers competed in the 2010 Chandler Law Enforcement Explorer Tactical Competition which took place in Chandler Arizona on January 15 - 17.
Post Coordinator Sergeant Dan Daniels (Reserve Bureau) and Post Advisors Deputy Courtney Todoroff (Theo Lacy Division), and Deputy Gregg Surrell (Lamoreaux Justice Center) accompanied the Explorers.
All of the Explorers' registration fees and lodging were paid with private donations or funds raised by Explorers working paid events.
The Sheriff's team competed against over 500 explorers from Explorer Posts throughout the nation.
Due to the excellent tactical training they received from S.W.A.T. Deputies Mike Perez and Shane Millhollan, Explorer Post 449 took a first place trophy in Tactical Scouting, a third place trophy in the Incident Command System and a fourth place trophy in the Multi Level Assault.
