Attendee Feedback

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you for recommending the NDTC Train the Trainer course in Springfield, Mass., last week. Despite the long drive from Rochester, NY on Monday morning, I thoroughly enjoyed the training. Because of our previous conversation about the significance of this course piqued my interest and I was eager to learn more. Upon arriving at the training on Monday, I was greeted by our instructors, Joe Arianna and Jeff Scholz, who were both incredibly knowledgeable.

As the training began, I was immediately drawn in and felt like a whole new world was opening up to me. I was particularly fascinated by the disc assessment, Esoteric matrix, and trauma-informed policing, which confirmed many of my thoughts and ideas about modern policing. I am grateful for the training program that you have offered, as it provides valuable knowledge and skills to law enforcement professionals like myself. In my 38 years of experience, I have seen the importance of adapting to the constantly evolving concepts and techniques that improve the relationship between police and diverse communities. The use of community policing and strategic partnerships has been proven to build trust and legitimacy in the eyes of the public. Additionally, incorporating a trauma-informed approach in policing is crucial for the well-being of both officers and the communities they serve. I highly commend the class and instructor for their exceptional work, and I am eager to continue working with you and the NDTC team in advancing this important work."

"Lisa, Thanks for the two-day Principles and Practice de-escalation training you assigned to Smith College. The presenters. Dr. Lorenzo Boyd and Sgt. Martin Dadio (Retired New Haven) were exceptional in their presentation, shared experience, and teaching impact. The training provided was some of the finest, most pertinent, and most impactful information I have experienced over my 42 years of public service. My officers and the other officers who attended expressed the same sentiments. I highly recommend this training to all police departments across the country."
