More than 200 young people are spending the week on the campus taking part in the 38th annual San Diego County Explorer Academy.

One of the week's activities involved senior members of the Explorers actually taking on a group simulating an unruly mob.

The trainees are in experienced hands, as officers from 23 agencies around the state assisted in the training and acting as the disorderly.

A graduation ceremony is scheduled for Saturday.
