Tall Cop Testimonials


Good afternoon! I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you for facilitating an effective webinar this morning. In my 28 years of professional experience, your High In Plain Sight was by far the best. The knowledge you have needs to be broadcasted throughout the world because everyone everywhere needs to know. As you state "how can you stop what you don't know". Officer Galloway, you are appreciated in NC! Take care and stay safe!  



I just watched Tall Cop “Gas Station Heroin,” and learned so much in an hour! I had no idea about all the stuff that is being sold legally and it makes me sick to my stomach. 

I’ve been a nurse for over 20 years, 12+ of those spent in the ER, and the last 6 as a certified school nurse. I recently started working with high school athletes, and these kids are definitely on something. I will be asking more questions going forward because things are making sense now.

Thank you SO for all that you guys do!

WOW!

I had no idea!! What an informative presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it, took several pages of notes and now I'm scared to death for our students. 

I definitely want to be included in the monthly email newsletter and receive the handouts from this presentation.


Thank you so much!

Jermaine,  


I recently attended the (SRO) conference where you were a presenter. Your presentation was great. At that point, I decided that I'd start visiting dispensaries and vape shops. I've been to three local dispensaries and was well received. I met with the managers at each location and got information on edibles and drinks. I am putting together a presentation for administrators,  along with a guide to be handed to staff. I plan to continue the visits every couple of months. Thanks for all you do and thanks for giving me the idea to visit dispensaries.

You did another outstanding job!!

Keep doing what you are doing. You are providing a very much-needed resource for our schools and SROs.


Again, thank you.

I am a school resource officer in Amarillo Texas and I attended one of your classes that was extremely helpful and eye opening. I have been in a high school for 4 years now and this is by far the worst year as far as narcotic usage and vape usage that I can see. We have sensors in our bathrooms that are receiving over 1000 hits a month and it is too much to handle. The discipline in the school is lax and the DA doesn’t want to prosecute. We have called the ambulance numerous times for overdoses and have even NARCANed a student. Are there any drug prevention programs that you can think of that have proven to be effective or advise on how to slow the usage in teens when they are not being held accountable?


Thank you for your time.

Matt


Good morning, I want to say thank you for all of the education that you provided to my colleague and I this week. I have been away from the substance use treatment field for over 10 years, so the information that you provided rejuvenated my passion. It also gave me insight on the trends that are now a part of the culture that our students live within.



Class attendee Michigan 


I just wanted to say that I had the opportunity to attend this presentation a few years ago in Biloxi, Mississippi when I was a District Supervisor... It was hands-down, one of the best presentations I have ever attended and I’m excited that Tall Cop is coming to the very small town where I live in...Our community has no idea what a treat they are in four and how this is going to benefit our school in our community immensely!!


From a retired professional 


I learned so much. Tall Cop gave an excellent presentation. I am a social worker in a hospital and quite often deal with patients who are drug users. This included mothers who deliver drug infected newborns.... I couldn't take notes fast enough.


Thank you.
