The Law Enforcement Exploring Program sponsored by the Hancock County Sheriff's Office will be holding an open house this coming Monday, September 12, at 6:30 P.M. at the sheriff's office (200 W. Crawford St., Findlay).
This program is open to any student aged 14-20 who has completed eighth grade and is a great way for students to determine if law enforcement is a career path they want to continue pursuing beyond high school.
Our School Resource Office, Deputy Matt Crouch, is the Exploring Post Advisor, so students can talk to him at school about this opportunity or reach out to him at mcrouch@vbschools.net.
See the attached flyer for more information.
