Covington Ga Police Explorers

🚔Did you know?

A felony traffic stop is a high-risk situation that requires officers to use careful positioning, communication, and teamwork to safely control the scene.

Our Explorers train and compete through realistic scenarios like this one to learn the importance of those skills firsthand.
