Discover Our Training Events
We currently do not have any training events scheduled. But see what attendees had to say about our previous Initial Response to Barricades classes:
“I significantly expanded my knowledge of barricade tactics yesterday thanks to an excellent training session by John Woosnam of Intelligent Police Solutions. I strongly recommend Intelligent Police Solutions to any law enforcement agency seeking to enhance their capabilities in this critical area.”
“I’ve only been doing this for 20 years, but I’ve been through a pile of classes, including tactical stuff, leadership etc. and I have to say your class was the most engaging (especially in one day) that I’ve been to in years. Maybe in all my time at [agency]. I took a ton away from it, including 10 pages of notes which I shared with some of my guys who couldn’t make it, and can’t thank you enough for putting in the time to help us better ourselves!”
“Instructor was very knowledgeable and was very informative. Instructor was also passionate about the topic.”
