CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE
"It is a move we made several years ago to have access to required training, without having to go somewhere and set in a classroom. This saves time and finances. They are very good at answering questions and are helpful when needed."
RICHARD W. SANDERS
Chief of Police
Piedmont Police Department
"Updated learning as it relates to relevant case law that we deal with as well as other relevant topics. The information is relevant to all agency sizes and not just "metro" agencies. I like that it is truly beneficial to rural agencies like ours as well."
