I was great training and would like to attend the two day training.
I enjoyed the class more than I anticipated I would since I don’t work prostitution cases but will someday venture in to that. Each instructor spoke clearly and was easy to understand and kept the class interesting.
The class was great. I really liked that the instructors are current law enforcement officers, so they were able to relate the training to real situations we deal with on the job. The scenarios were also great and definitely eye-opening. R…
Another solid class. Always something to take away when it BSN
This was a topic that I have never trained in and after this is feel confident that I could jump in an operation and be able to have a good understanding of that is going on.
It was a good course. Had a lot of good information that’s a little different than how we do things but certainly eye opening.
