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."

"Dear Lisa, Thank You for sending Laura, Elliott, and Justin to teach the NDTC Principles and Practice Class this week. These instructors were phenomenal and worked very well as a team. They all connected with my students and were able to make tremendous progress to get this done. I am very grateful to you, and to these professional instructors for their time, their talents, and their diligence and willingness to teach this class and enlighten my students with this knowledge to help them become better officers in Washington D.C. Our first CPSI Academy class in 2025, will begin in February, and I am anticipating inviting this team to conduct this training for us either at the end of March, or early April. I look forward to hearing from you soon and continuing our partnership to better equip police officers with this knowledge, and skill going forward."

"I would like to note that I very much enjoyed the training - which, for me, is unusual. Police trainings are often repetitive information, only communicated in a different way. The instructors in this training also made all the difference; they were excellent."
