  Throughout my over 15 years of Law Enforcement I have attended many courses. The professionalism, expertise, and humble manner in which the Forced Entry Instructors presented this course allowed for a top-notch learning environment. Their conduct as instructors is a great reflection of their Company, Department, and the Tactical Community as a whole. I would recommend this course to all tactical teams. P.S. Great Job!! Stay low & Safe!!

  I have been an officer for 12 years and on a tactical team for 8 years and this is by far the best school I have ever been to. I learned so much from this training that will make me a better operator and will be able to save lives back home. The Forced Entry Instructors were excellent teachers. The two of them were able to take their knowledge and experience and pass it on to me in a way I could understand. I would serve with them anywhere in the world if they would take me on. They were “AWESOME!”
