EVENT DESCRIPTION The following are brief descriptions of the events for Ex-Con 2008. The descriptions will not have all of the scenario information in them in order to allow the Explorers to react to the scenario as it develops. Ex-Con wants to provide the Explorers with challenging competitions that mirror the types of calls that police officers respond to. The grading criteria at the end of the descriptions will also leave some of the grading categories left out such as arrest procedures, handcuffing etc. so they do not give the scenario away. 1. Active Shooter A minimum (4) maximum (6) person Explorer team will act as patrol officers who have been dispatched to "shots fired" reports at the high school. Numerous calls from panicked students as well as school staff are coming in about unknown subject(s) shooting in the school. The Explorer team will be graded on decision making, team work, communication (with dispatch and as a team), clearing tactics and overall safety. 2. Suspicious Person Stop A minimum (2) person team with an optional (2) person back-up team will be dispatched to a suspicious person call. The team will be graded on their approach, communication skills, interview technique, contact / cover, and overall officer safety. 3. Unknown Risk Traffic Stop A minimum (2) person team with an optional (2) person back-up team will conduct an “unknown” risk vehicle stop. The vehicle will have been stopped for running a sign. The Explorer team must react to the scenario as it develops. Explorers will be graded on initial stop procedures, approach, contact / cover, verbal skills (with suspects), communication (dispatch and partners), observation skills, and overall officer safety. 4. 911 Disconnect A minimum (2) person team with an optional (2) person back-up team will be respond to a 911 disconnect call.

They will then start with the easiest level and move to the most difficult. They will climb one at a time in order and the time will stop when the last Explorer reaches the top. 7. Obstacle Course (Advisors and Explorers) Each individual Explorer / Advisor will run a timed obstacle course with multiple physical obstacles such as walls, beams, cones, dummy drag, push-ups, sit-ups etc. Every Explorer / Advisor can participate in this event but only the fastest male and female times for each post will count for overall scoring. 8.

They will complete a timed bicycle course which will include cones, curbs, and other obstacles. The clock will not stop until both team members have crossed the finish line.
