"I wanted to let you know that I have attended the High In Plain Sight training on at least 3 occasions and feel that each time I attend I learn something new. I am a Probation officer in upstate NY and in the last 2 days have made home contacts to 2 different probationers and at each one there was a butane torch out on the counter and both myself and the officer that was with me thought of our training with you, at first I thought of dabs or meth, and when both probationers were drug tested they tested positive for meth. Meth is very big here in (my county)."
