Calibre Press Street Survival: The Best Available Police Training

I just spent the last two days having my officer safety skills re-sharpened at the Calibre Press Street Survival Seminar.

If you have not attended one of these courses, then I highly recommend going to the next one in your area even if you have to pay for it yourself.

This was my second time to attend during my 16 years on the force and it was long overdue. I paid for the training my first time and my agency paid for the class this time. It is well worth the money.

The instructors, Jim Glennon and Ray DeCunto, were top notch and had us laughing throughout the day despite the serious subject matter.

Over my career, I have attended many different courses for police officers.I have not found a better, more relevant class than this seminar put on by Calibre Press.
