Amazing class, not death by PowerPoint and plenty of hand on experience!
Brandon and Jeremy put a great class on. Very informative. Brandon was very knowledgeable in all aspects of prostitution. I highly recommend going to this class even if you’re already in the Prostitution Game!
Class was very informative. Helped officers conduct practical exercises. As well as understand the safety/approach of arresting individuals involved in prostitution.
Great class that showed how each member of the team has a specific responsibility that needs to be completed.
Course makes you think about many different scenarios that could happen during an op and helps you prepare.
