“John, thoroughly enjoyed the class. One of the most relevant training classes I’ve had in 21 years. Found a missing juvenile this morning using some of the resources you provided.” Corona, California Student

“Honestly, this is one of the best course I have taken. It is extremely practical, and you cut out a lot of the bull crap that LE courses tend to come with. No bullshit just good knowledge. I can't think of anything else that you didn't cover. This is so much good new content that I spent a lot of time on typing out notes, so I can go over the notes again.” Corona, California Student

I've taken a few other classes where the instructor was retired and while they were good, the information and techniques change so quickly that some of their information was out of date.

I really enjoyed the class. Thank you!!” Pensacola, Florida Student
