Amazing class! Thank you! I will reach out via email.
Cpt. Rizzo is a charismatic beast. Always invigorating to hear this man teach.
Exceptional course! The only negative I have is that not more members of my agency attended! Capt. Rizzo knows his stuff and was very engaging!
Great energy, lots of content to absorb, plenty of info to take home and further educate myself.
Great class, learned a lot about myself as a line staff, and how I can implement change and culture within my department. I would love to take this to my higher ups!
