What the Students had to say!

The course was very well taught, and the information was great KD is one of the best and most engaging structures I’ve ever had. Sergeant 17 Years
Great course this 100% should be included in the curriculum for police recruit training.

 

 Sergeant 29 years
I have had chances to partake in numerous trainings in my years as a police officer. Every single one is the same old boring block by block, death by PowerPoint system, I dread any training usually. This specific training with KD was the best training I have taken in my so far five-year career. I will sign up for any training that is designed and instructed by KD from now on. Every police officer, CO, and any other law enforcement officers could and should take this training period I will be back, 100% Police Officer 5 years
great course, the instructor was full of knowledge and taught outstanding tools to assist officers. Shift Supervisor        19 years
I enjoyed that it correlated to both police and corrections and how vital the escalation tactics are in today’s world of law enforcement. Booking Officer      2.5 years
Great class, instructor was engaging and upbeat. The class gave useful tools to use on the street. Patrol 9 years
This course was great! KD is a great instructor who delivers all the info properly. All info goes hand in hand with daily lives, from work to home. Stories shared were appropriate along with the video shown and teach backs. Training instructor 17 years
KD is one of the best (if not the best) instructors I have attended. The LEADS class provides useful tactics that we can teach all officers. KD provided training that is backed by science and his approach or way he teaches is excellent. Highly recommend this instructor. I now have a great understanding how to be a great de-escalation instructor. Patrol eight years
Class was very informative. Class introduces tactics we can use in the field. Focuses on strategies that do not stimulate aggression and skills to deescalate conflicts. Great for everyday encounters and policing and corrections. Police officer
I felt this course provided an insane amount of insight, detail, and extremely effective strategies to effectively diffuse hostile situations period now that I’ve attended this training I feel more confident in my de-escalation abilities and wish it were possible for every LE officer to attend. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and instructed in a way that was easy to follow and facilitated an environment very conducive to learning. Our instructor was Lieutenant Dillon. Thank you so much for this experience
Fantastic training period. This training should be a part of state law enforcement qualifications in all state regulated mandates for noncommissioned law enforcement agencies and departments. It is valuable
