This class is a great class if the admin takes advantage of it.
This is a course about something much bigger than law enforcement and leadership, this is a class on hardship, resiliency, and life. All that attend would benefit, regardless of profession
Always gives me a shot in the arm. Great man teaching and even a greater friend to me
