We Educate and Empower People Everywhere, So They Can Serve the Public.

A leader is great, not because of his or her power, but because of his or her ability to empower others.
- John C. Maxwell

We have trained more than 75,000 public safety professionals across North America in the topics that are most important to those who serve. Our nationally acclaimed instructors have over 200 years of combined on the ground experience from patrol officer to Chief of Police and every level in between.

Culture drives Everything

Healthy cultures invest in leadership at all levels, intentionally design the culture their people deserve, and succession plan for talent not title. We help organizations do all three and more.

Training That Doesn't Suck

Tired of “death by PowerPoint,” outdated content, and classes based on opinions rather than facts? Good, so are we. That’s why we do things differently.

Trainers Who Have Walked The Walk

All our trainers are current or recently retired law enforcement instructors who have served on the front lines. They know the challenges you face because they’ve faced them, too.
