Explorer Post 700 - Dylan Houser

Image Recently, Captain Dylan Houser a member of Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Youth Explorer Post 700 was awarded a prestigious appointment to attend the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) National Academy Associates Youth Leadership Program in June 2010.

 North Carolina was only allowed (1) youth slot to attend the FBI Youth Academy Program this year and Dylan was selected over (10) other youths from across the State, which all were competing for the honor to be able to attend. 

 To be considered Dylan had to complete the application process, be recommended by a graduate of the FBI National Academy, write an essay on “What is Leadership”, and travel to Greensboro to pass an oral review board which was overseen by senior law enforcement administrators that had graduated from the FBI National Academy.

 Dylan Houser is a sophomore at Lincolnton High School and maintains a 4.3 GPA.  He has been a member of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post 700 for the past (3) years. During that time he has excelled in the local Explorer Program and rose through the ranks to hold the top position of Post Captain. Dylan is following in the footsteps of his father which is employed as a Detention Officer Supervisor in the Lincoln County Jail.   

 During the (8) day program at the FBI Training Academy in Quantico, VA, the selected youth attendees from all over the nation will take law enforcement and leadership related classes which will include writing a book report and completing exams, participate in physical training, meet the Director of the FBI, tour the FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC, visit the National Police Memorial, along with learning about a potential career with the FBI. 

 Lt Hal Kluttz, the lead Advisor for the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Explorer Post Program described Captain Houser as a well deserving young man that is very dedicated to the Explorer Program and is looking forward to a career in Law Enforcement.  Besides this appointment, Captain Houser and the rest of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office Explorers will be attending the National Explorer Conference this July in Atlanta Georgia.  The National Conference will be attended by 4000 other Explorers from law enforcement agencies across the country. At the national Conference they will hold competitions and attend law enforcement related seminars.

 Anyone between the ages 14-20 that has an interest in law enforcement and would like to be a part of the Boy Scout sponsored program, please contact Lieutenant Hal Kluttz with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office at (704) 736-8864 for further information or visit our web site at www.explorerpost700.webs.com.

SAFETY TIP

Use Your ATM Safely

Be Aware of Suspicious Persons Near the ATM Machine

·  Be Observant
The most important key to using your ATM card safely is to be observant and look around for any suspicious persons or activity near the ATM machine. If you see anything that looks suspicious, go to another machine or return later.
·  Have Your Card in Your Hand
It is a good idea to have your ATM card in your hand and ready to use as you approach the ATM machine so that you do not have to take extra time at the machine to take the card out of your wallet or purse.
·  Shield Your Transaction
Use your body or hand or an object to shield the ATM keyboard when you enter your PIN. Do not give someone else the opportunity to see the number that you are entering.
·  Don't Leave Your Receipt
Be sure to take your receipt or transaction records with you when you leave.
·  Put Away Your Cash
Put your cash away immediately in your pocket, wallet or purse. Do not display or count it at the machine. You can always count it later.
·  Keep Your Car Secured
Lock your car if you have to get out to use the ATM machine. If you use a drive-up ATM machine, lock all doors and be sure the passenger-side windows are rolled up.
Using an ATM at Night·  If possible, take another person with you. ·  Park in a well-lighted area as close to the machine as possible. ·  Do not use the machine if the lights on it are not working. ·  If the view of the ATM machine is blocked by overgrown shrubbery or trees, or any other objects, use another machine. ·  Notify the bank about the visibility problem.
