What attendees say
I want to applaud you on this incredible course. I have taken this course now three times, and each time, I learn something new. I had to laugh on a few of the cases you shared. The observations/indicators you have had on your cases are identical to ones I have experienced myself. Some I handled poorly due to inexperience, but I got better and smarter with time. However, I could see a drastic difference in my abilities after taking this course. It just goes to prove your point—behavior is the same in Texas as it is in Ohio. This course just reinforces what I have learned with my own experiences. I’ve been able to capitalize on critical items you teach while I was a Field Training Officer to pass down to our officers. Utilizing skills you teach in this course has given me better skills as an officer, and has given me the confidence to be a better leader for our agency. I have had numerous notable cases utilizing the techniques you teach! Please keep up the good work. Your enthusiasm and knowledge in this topic is by far the best in the nation. I’ve never been so engaged in an online training in my life! I have also showed this training to officers I supervise and they could not believe the content. It’s funny how many of them immediately tethered their portable radios to their body armor after watching this. They’re also picking up on certain indicators to look for during patrol and field interviews. This content is making an impact and you deserve to know it!
I’ve never been a class guy. Normally boring PowerPoints. This was farrrr from it. I have to say this was by far the best class ive ever taken. The videos he shows makes you realize just how much you’re missing. Next shift after taking Craig’s class it was fishing in a barrel it was so easy. Seriously, take the class. Wish I had it my first year!
I’ve taken other proactive patrol classes and it’s the same thing. Always what to look for but never why criminals react that way. Craig Meyer does a great job at explaining the why which helps a lot in court.
I watched half of your class on a detail I was working on and then the next night went in on my normal shift. That night on my shift I stopped 3 cars total. The first car I stopped I got was a guy with a 13 year old active warrant from a neighboring county. While speaking with him he said he had been living in the area for nine years and no one has ever stopped him. The third car I stopped I ended up developing a PC for and got a possession of cocaine and meth as well as a violation of probation. Since I have taken and finished the course I have been finding more crime mainly on the lower level but the reaction and behaviors are very interesting. Just wanted to say thank you, at the agency I work at there is an expectation for proactive police work but no one truly shows you what to look for. I was considering leaving the profession and I truly believe that this course has saved my career. Thank you.
This is by far the best class that I have taken for my career. Craig is a fantastic teacher and makes this course very enjoyable. Not even a day after completing this course, I have already observed all of these behaviors on the road! Even got 2.4g of fentanyl off a stop while given consent from tips he mentioned in this course. You are doing yourself a disservice by not taking this.
Bring Craig to your agency.
Plan practical, current legal training around your officers and your community.
