Great class from beginning to end. Kept the class entertained the whole time and provided great knowledge
Awesome instruction provided by fellow law enforcement. The guys are great, you’ll leave the class ready/ more comfortable to conduct interviews.
I loved this class. Wish it was longer! Drugs investigations didn’t interest me that much until I too this class and learned how fun I could have.
Great and well taught class. Best instructors I have had in my 19 year career. Best taught interdiction course I have also been through. Highly recommend this class to others !
