But don't get the wrong idea. He's not a cop, or even one of the notorious baby cops. Ion is only a member of the Burlington Police Explorers Post 800, a group sponsored by the Police Department and affiliated with the Explorers arm of Boy Scouts of America. This is a group of twenty-five teenagers interested in law enforcement, including about seven BHS students. The purpose of the organization is to provide interested young people with insight in police work with hands on training in firearms, self-defense, and other areas. Members are allowed to accompany police officers on patrol for observation, though assistance can be given to an officer if needed. 'I'hey also help at headquarters. When the police department is spread thin, such as the day Vice- president Bush visited Burlington, the Police Explorers are used to secure side streets or buildings. On occasions like this, Ion is equipped with radio and flashlight. However, he has only a citizen's power of detainmentg an officer must be called if a crime is observed. As Ion says, The police can't be everywhere. We help in small ways. Unfortunately, Ion's role as an Explorer has been misconstrued by some. He is not a narc and certainly not a policeman. In fact, turning in others is not allowed. While at BHS, Ion and the other Explorers are just high school students, but because law enforcement interests them, they are Explorers to leam and to help.
