The success of the program in its first year is directly due to the hard work of the explorers, the advisors, and the support of the HPD Command Staff.
In attendance were Chief Charles McClelland, Executive Assistant Chief Michael Dirden, Southeast Patrol Captain Kenneth Campbell, Midwest Patrol Captain James Dale, South Central Patrol Captain Heather Morris, and South Central Lieutenant Patricia Cantu. They and many other members of the Command Staff have contributed to the success of the HPD Explorer Program with their support.
Representatives from the explorer posts present spoke about the importance of the program and what the program meant to them.
Chief McClelland expressed his desire that the HPD Explorer Program become the biggest in the State of Texas.
