Sophomore Rose Gardner is a member of the Police Explorers Program and currently holds the position of captain. "We are representing the sheriff’s office when we go out, like we’re in uniforms that you could honestly mistake for real law enforcement.," Gardner said. "So, when we’re out there we have to make sure that we’re upholding the name for the sheriff’s office. Because there are so many people around this world that really bring a bad rap to law enforcement’s name. And so, when we’re out there dealing with people who are really, really frustrated or really angry, you have to be able to control yourself and de-escalate the situation. So, I think that has definitely benefited me working in the community and throughout the post.”
