"I want to thank you all for the course. I’m in my 30th year as a police officer, 17th year on SWAT and this was by far the most interesting course I’ve been to in my career. I’ve been asking for this course for many years and I realized that with more experience it was really easy to relate to every story I heard. A lot of the debriefing really challenge the decisions we make on a day to day basis."
