Maverick County Sheriff Tom Schmerber informed The News Gram that he is working on accepting applications for the MCSD Explorers, a youth group of potential future Sheriff's Department employees who will be learning the finer points of working with patrol officers, and to represent the department at local community-oriented events such as the annual Feast of Sharing.
"We are presently taking applications for our Explorer group which will be a sort of Boy Scouts type program which we will use to instill good citizenship in our participants to grow up quality people and who may one day even become law enforcement officials," stated Sheriff Schmerber.
According to Schmerber, they have received quite a few applications already and all who apply, if eligible, will become a part of the organization.
Applications are being accepted for all students from Grades 9-12 ages 14-18 at both Eagle Pass High School and at CC Winn High School.
