One of the best courses that I have ever taken.
Great Class, very informative.
This course took my general criminal interdiction knowledge and expanded on it. I firmly believe with the in depth roadside interview tactics In I’ll be more successful with criminal interdiction moving forward in my career.
Great course that provided hands on and real world examples of interviewing techniques.
This class provides law enforcement officers a focused insight in the world of interdiction, providing them with excellent knowledge to assist them on the road as well as combating crime.
Excellent training! Learned so much and feel so much more confident in doing my job. Instructor was so knowledgeable
Great class, great instructor, answered all of the questions we needed answered. Explained interdiction amazingly to the point we were able to understand and look at it from different angles.
Instructor is very knowledgeable and cares about about information being taught.
This class has taught me a lot and gave me more confidence to do my job to the best of my ability.
Bowman is awesome! Real walk the walk guy. Never had an instructor that used so much of his own content and knowledge!
Hands down the best course I have been to. Mr. Bowman is extremely knowledgeable and humble. He doesn't do the typical cop thing and give war stories with no real background
The training was very informative and beneficial. I would reccommend this course to any officer who wishes to be more proactive and productive.
