I really enjoyed this class. Im excited to take this training and utilize it on the street.
"Feeds" is a great instructor. I learned a lot from this course and will be applying what I learned on the street.
Awesome techniques and law review. Learn multiple ways to ask questions and analyze answers/body language. Also good use of real videos, hands on scenarios and feedback
This class provides officers all the tools they need to become effective and proficient cops. The instructor was able to explain all his material extremely well.
This class has taught me subtle things to watch as far as human behavior when lying or being questioned. These are things I have seen before but this class has taught me to actually recognize things I have missed.
One of the best courses that I have ever taken.
