As a 20+ year veteran Police Officer and current Detective, I can honestly say this Dignitary Protection course has been one of the best training programs I’ve completed during my law enforcement career.
Matt Parker and his staff traveled to our agency in NW PA and provided classroom and practical instruction on all facets of Dignitary Protection. Specifically, my class included 80 hours of coursework with an additional 2-days of Assistant Instructor training.
The class material was relevant and highly informative. Further, through the provided scenarios in training, our class was able to navigate hurdles and problem solve. This was highly beneficial in the learning process and it certainly prepared us both mentally and physically for the real-world environment.
Matt and Carl’s knowledge and experience in Dignitary Protection also provided us with the proper tools and a wealth of information that will enable us to conduct protective service operations with confidence. Matt was also instrumental in providing our recently established Dignitary Protection Team with the proper training and foundation to make our unit successful. At the conclusion of the training, I can say we certainly earned the certification and title of Dignitary Protection Specialist.
