Sample Student Comments:
"The 1:1 instructor to student ratio in class is great! Great class!" - W/C
"I attended your course in Pismo Beach a few weeks ago. Two days back to work and I used what I had learned in the course to open a door of a house we were searching. I used the bump key and was successful on the first try! Great opportunity to show an example of what a bump key is and how it works, to the guys on my team. Thanks for the class, I really appreciated it!" - Joe C.
"Awesome class! Most definitely!" - J.C.
" I just attended your class in Torrance, and again would like to thank you on a job well done!" - R.F.
"...very great class! Best I've ever been to! - W/H
"...I attended you training course this week on the 9th and 10th. At the end of the training, you asked us to share if one of us used our new skills shortly after the course. Last night on the 11th, I did! My trainee and I jumped a school fence in search of some vandalism suspects. After detaining three people, we had to get out of the school grounds with the handcuffed suspects. I jumped back over and got my pick set. With a few deputies watching, I was stoked to have picked the Master padlock in about 5 seconds! Boy, did it make me look good! This saved me from having to cut the school's chain or lock." - C.S.
“…I used my pick set to open the apartment door of a guy with a warrant last Monday. We could hear some real light noise from inside, so I picked the door. We went inside and found him hiding under the bed. Great training! Thank you, again!” - M.C.
“The lock picking is going great! That is why I wrote to you guys to tell you how much you rock! Your stuff is right on, and you keep it updated. Having been a trainer for over twenty years, I really could appreciate all of you participating and helping throughout the course. Great job!" - C.J.
"I loved the course! I was exposed to a great number of techniques and got 'hands-on' practice with each." - W/H
"This information is so valuable that a condensed version should be taught at the academy level - without a doubt!" - C.Z.
