Sheryl A Horak Law Enforcement Explorer Memorial Scholarship is accepting applications now for the 2022-2023 academic year. This scholarship was set up in the memory of Sheryl Ann Horak. In 1985, 15-year-old Sheryl Ann Horak joined Bettendorf Police Department Explorer Post No. 9611 in Iowa. She took an interest in many post exercises over the following two years, ascending to the position of lieutenant. On April 25, 1987, while participating in a post-movement, Sheryl was shot and killed by a mental person. On August 14, 1987, a fund was made by Lt. Kim Adamson of the West Valley City, Utah, police office to memorialize Sheryl’s commitment to Law Enforcement Explorers and to respect her objective to fill in as a Law Enforcement professional.
