Society has placed the highest expectations possible on the law enforcement trainer - Police Instructor will help you exceed them. Definitely a "must read" for police instructors. I have been teaching for nearly 30 years and still learned things I didn't know. We used Neil's techniques in our most recent presentation to about 50 enforcement officers and Chiefs and got our best reviews ever. ~Jenny Edards, Snohomish, WA The book has topics & ideas clearly defined. A wonderful "How To" aide for anyone that has probably one of the most difficult "Student Audiences" to teach to. Great resource for both the Newly-Certified or "Seasoned" Law Enforcement Instructor. ~Alan Mark, Police Officer/FTO/Medic, In-Service Instructor, L.A. County Police (Ret.) Regardless of the topic you teach there is something in this book that will assist you in creating an active learning environment for your officers. ~Brian Willis, ILEETA Deputy Executive Director, Winning Mind Training Inc., Canada Police Instructor is dynamic, entertaining, and enjoyable reading. The detailed instructions describing precisely how to create effective visuals and appealing presentations will improve the delivery of even seasoned presenters. ~Anne Bremer,Managing Editor, Law Enforcement Today Your book should be part of any instructor techniques course... whether on the academy level, in-service, or for those of us that travel around the country involved in law enforcement training. ~Robert Alfonso, Globus TraCon LLC, Captain (ret.) Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Florida Police Instructor: I wrote this book for law enforcers who train lawenforcers, and I am not interested in being politically correct.  If you are not a law enforcer, policeinstructor, or someone with a real connection to the world of law enforcement,this book may offend you.  It is deeplyopinionated, painfully honest, and personal.If you do not like hearing the truth, this book may not be for you - Irecommend you go with fiction. I have includedexamples of how I do things behind the scenes and in the classroom; however,like the making of hotdogs, not everyone wants to see how it's done. Youprobably will not like and use every one of the suggestions, but you will findmany of them compelling if you train cops or cadets. I believe whole-heartedly that our professionwill benefit from the new methods and innovative ideas provided in PoliceInstructor - I am confident of that - but I would not insult you or any otherinstructor by saying I know your audience better than you do. Feelfree to ignore the ideas that you don't like and change the ideas that willserve you best in a different way. Choose to "Do Something" for Law Enforcement Rather than Just "Be Someone" in Law Enforcement.
