 We would like to extend a big congratulations to our explorer team that competed at the 2017 Snohomish County Tactical Challenge this May. They represented our Police Department and Sheriff's Office in a positive light as well as bringing home eight 1st place trophies and one 3rd place trophy as well as the best overall performing team out of the nine that competed. Great job everyone!  We are proud to announce that the King County Precinct 3 Explorer post has earned the 2016 Post of the Year award from the board of Washington Law Enforcement Exploring Advisors (WLEEA). We have between 15 and 17 explorers in the post at one time and together we contribute thousands of hours to our local and regional community in a year. Congratulations King County Precinct 3, you've earned it!
 3 posts from Washington State traveled to Flagstaff, Arizona in July to compete in the 2016 National Explorer Competition. We are so proud of each one of them for competing against hundreds of explorers from across the nation. Specifically Sergeant Matt Toscano from Maple Valley for placing first in the written exam. Great job everyone!
Thank you to all the explorer posts that came out to help us with one of our busiest events. Specifically to posts, South Valley, Kirkland, North King County, Federal Way, and Sea Tac. 
 Explorers practice tactical handcuffing procedures in traffic stop based scenarios. Practicing basic radio communication procedures and ritual traffic stop steps. Using a few of our own men, explorers were able to practice these scenarios hands on.
On December 3rd the Precinct 3 explorers and some of the King County Woodinville assisted the City of Maple Valley with their new location for the holiday lighting event. We had explorers posted all around Four Corners helping people move from business to business and to the tree lighting.
Every Friday and Saturday nights in October we assist the Maple Valley Haunted Forest on state route 169 with parking. They have a large grass lot with no lines or indications on where to park, so they ask us to come in and organize it for them.
