“Vince was an engaging instructor who kept student's attention for the duration of the 8-

hour course. The information was extremely relevant and I was able to immediately

apply the knowledge I learned to real life cases. I feel this course should be a

requirement for all officers as the material is necessary to conduct thorough

investigations to thwart would-be active assailants.”
