The Dawson County Sheriff’s Office has started an Explorer program for local high school students which kicked off with its first Night Out meeting at Dawson County High School Sept. 12. The Explorer program is a career-oriented program that gives young adults with an interest in law enforcement careers the opportunity to work among the various components of the DCSO. “You’re the few, the strong, the dedicated,” Chief Deputy Greg Rowan said to the students. ”That’s what we need. We need a good foundation to start this program off.” The DCSO had an Explorer program several years ago and it was something the office wanted to reinstate and develop as a new program for 2018.
