This was not my first time taking a narcotics based training as I have taken one from the department of justice in California. This class was bad ass! I learned a ton of techniques and laws that I can now put to use on the street as proactive officer. Not only this but it was a nice refresher and motivation I needed to continue doing what I do despite the noise and the bullshit the state I live in does to restrict our policing.

Erik “Feeds” is a G and a super bad ass instructor it was an honor to even be in this dudes presence knowing he’s seized hundreds of pounds of dope and other drugs. I hope one day I can be as good as that, and damn it’s hella tempting to lateral to want to lateral to Texas.

On another note it was extremely cool to meet someone who also knows Nick Jackson a big role model of mine in law enforcement, it was truly like meeting a law enforcement celebrity, Feeds is super intelligent and one of the coolest dudes I’ve met anyone who gets to work with him is lucky.

I had a great experience with this training class. The material was well organized, easy to follow, and included plenty of hands-on practice that made everything click. The instructor was knowledgeable, approachable, and had a great sense of humor that kept the class engaging from start to finish. They encouraged questions, explained concepts clearly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident before moving on. I left the class feeling like I learned a lot and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality training.

10/10 Very informative class. The instructor was knowledgeable, passionate, super attentive all throughout the class. He also forced me to step outside my comfort zone and be a lot less antisocial hard feat. I highly recommend this class.

I enjoyed the course, I can tell that Feeds really enjoyed the topic and is passionate about the topic and takes his time to teach and be proficient. I was great to have examples and see real world experience in the class. Though Oregon laws are wonky and not conducive to Law Enforcement the skills taught are applicable in any investigation and situation. I absolutely would take another course with BS Narcotics.

I think feeds explained the importance of case law. He continued into reasonable suspicion which I believe is an under utilized tool as law enforcement officers. Continuing to explain that reasonable in important, especially in a state where the unavoidable lull is gone, that developing that reasonable suspicion quickly and effectively is so important.

I learned a lot on interviewing, officer safety and especially realizing what you’re hearing to build reasonable suspicion. I do wish the course was more applicable to Oregon.
