Explorers Clean Up Santa Paula Punchbowls
 By Ventura County Sheriff Department — Tuesday, April 7th, 2015
 On Tuesday March 31, 2015, the Fillmore Explorer Post #2958 spent their spring break hiking up to the Santa Paula Punch Bowls near Thomas Aquinas College. As they hiked up to the pools of water, they collected several bags of trash scattered throughout the canyon. In coordination with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit, the explorers carried the trash bags to a designated location where the explorers were then able to witness the air unit touch down, pick up the bags, and then fly them away. Explorer Advisor Deputy Leonardo Vazquez described the event as "a great opportunity for the explorers to clean up their environment, get a workout, and witness one of the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office greatest resources in action." The hike was led by Civilian Explorer Advisor DJ Wareham, Cadet Julio Espinoza, Deputy Leonardo Vazquez, and Fillmore Citizen Patrol member Isela Larin. The Fillmore Explorers would like to thank Sergeant Carl Patterson and the members of the Aviation Unit for their collaboration with this event. #VCSO #AIRUNIT #EXPLORERS #FILLMOREPOLICE The Law Enforcement Explorer Program consists of young men and women ages 14-21 with an interest in learning more about careers in the field of Law Enforcement.
