Here are some examples of the positive feedback we receive every year from the thousands of officers we train at the Street Crimes Seminar.

I just wanted you to know that I just completed your Street Crimes class that Frank Goff conducted, in Beaumont Texas. I have to honestly say that in the last sixteen year of being a police officer this is the only class that I have learned and really enjoyed. I like the approach you have taken in your classes, by not being politicaly correct and giving the officer the truth of what really could happen and does on the streets.

I really like the way Frank conducts the class and ads his experiences into the class. Working for a County Sheriffs Department in texas Like mine, it is a nice learning experience to hear what really goes on in a very large City like Chicago and how matters are handled. Frank has a very unique way of keeping you focused on the class material and making it very interesting and easily understandible at the same time.

Thank you so much for developing this training and good luck in the future. I look forward to taking more of your class's in the future.

I recently attended the Street Crimes Seminar in Colorado Springs, Colorado and it was one of the best classes I've attended. I currently work as a Patrol Officer for Jefferson County Public Schools in the Safety, Security and Emergency Planning Department. Before this I was a Deputy Sheriff for the San Diego County Sheriff's Office for 14 years and a total of 18 years overall law enforcement experience. I have worked Detentions, Patrol and retired out of the Special Investigations Division as a detective on the Tactical Narcotics Team - H.I.D.T.A. I have been to a lot of training seminars in my career and your Street Crimes Seminar with Instructor Peter Bukiri is one of the finest training venues I have attended. I would like to thank you for putting on such valuable training keeping us updated on the current trends of these "street urchins" that want so badly to harm us. My career was ended due to an on duty injury with a parolee who had violated after only a month back on the streets for armed robbery. Keep up the great work and training venues and I hope to attend future training as it becomes available, stay safe.

Respectfully submitted,

Ken McCallister

To whom it may concern,

I just returned home from the Street Crimes Training Course held at the Taj Mahal Casino in Atlantic City from Oct. 1st-Oct. 3rd 2007. I would just like to take a little time to say what an awesome course it was. Det. Robert Browne was our instructor and his knowledge and presence was outstanding. I have been to some courses where the instructors act as if they do not want to be there and just want to get the course over with. From the moment Det. Browne began speaking he had my attention and never lost it.

I have to say your course is hands down the best training course I have ever been to. I cannot wait to try the techniques I learned. In just three days I feel I am already a better Police Officer with the knowledge I have gained from this course and Det. Browne. I feel I will be safer out on the streets and be one step up on the bad guys.

Thanks again for a great course.

Sincerely,
Patrolman Michael P. Cavallo #082

I enjoyed your class, it was very informative and I learned things they don't tell you or teach you in the academy. I'm in the 19th district on the 1st watch and have been for a little more than 6 years. You have some great stories about all you've done and seen. I think everyone who wants to learn more and be a better cop should get the chance to take your class. Thanks.

I've been a street cop for 32 years. Much of what you present is how I do business and consider it a common sense approach to the profession. I don't like to attend training anymore, I'm a tardy and wayward student. It was refreshing to see training in a real world fashion and not concerned with political correctness. I hope it sinks in on the younger generation who don't seem to see the world as we do. An old veteran told me when I was young: "It's our job to keep the peace, not disturb it." I think it was good advice then and now.

Sincerely,

I just wanted to write to you and thank you for putting together such a great program. I just finished the seminar today in Ft Lauderdale. Robert Browne was our instructor. What a phenomenal instructor. I'm 33 yrs old and I've been on the job for about 14 yrs. I have worked in various units. I started my career in the south suburbs of Chicago and then moved to Collier County S.O. I only wish this class would of been around for when I first started. I am going to talk to the Lt. in charge of training at our department to see if they can get you to come back to our dept. or to get more guys enrolled. I really believe whether just on the job or 15 yrs into it, you can really benefit from this training class. Once again thank you and thanks for a great instructor like Mr Browne.

I just wanted to let you know that I completed the street crimes seminar in Kansas City Mo. today. To be honest I will have my 25th anniversary in Police work on June 16th. I was expecting another 3 day class covering the same ole stuff I have been listening to for years. But I must admit the instructor Det. Frank Goff did a great job in keeping the class interesting, and actually teaching something. So many training classes the instructors get up there go through the motions and have no more desire to be there than I do. That was not the case with this class. The curriculum and the instructor were top notch. Police work has changed dramatically in the last 25 years and it was great to be able to sit in class and learn techniques that I will be able to use starting tomorrow. Please pass on my thanks to Det. Goff as well.

Thanks again,
- Lt. Ramon J Jones

Hello, my name is Elias Mendiola, I am with the Bloomington Police Department (2 hours south of Chicago). I just received training by Peter Bukiri, in your Street Crimes class. I have previously attempted to get into the class, but was never able to get in.

I have been an Officer for 8 1/2 years now, and currently assigned to our city's gang/violent streets crimes unit.

I want to thank you for having selected Peter as an instructor.  His knowledge and experience is invaluable.  Peter knows how to give details in relation to the subject, that works in the REAL world, not some bullshit that you typically see in other classes.  I'd like to thank you especially for coming up with this type of class.  You put all the major factors of this job into 3 days... NO other class I've been to does that.  I'm not just talking out of my ass either; I first started at LAPD in 1996, came back home and after starting at BPD for 1 year, started working narcotics and worked undercover.  While there I had training with Illinois State Police, Drug Enforcement Administration (assigned to MET), Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, NYPD (C.A.G.E. instructor), Jacksonville (FL) metro police (IPTM), Street Survival School, and local training.  NONE of those years of training come close to the type of "package" training your streets crimes class offered. 

Thanks again, your power point and video's hit the important points and your "skits" are funniest shit I've seen to date!

To whom may assist me,

My name is Adam Temple, I am a Deputy for the Sagadahoc County Sheriffs Department in Maine. This past fall, I attended a John Reid class in Cape Elizabeth, ME. However, I cannot recall the name of my instructor. I would like help finding the detective that taught my class if it is possible. Three weeks ago, I was involved in 3 gun fights with one suspect. This series of events had progressed from a pharmacy robbery, to a high speed chase, to a gun fight, to a carjacking until the suspect was shot and killed at a gas station as he was firing upon us again.

I firmly believe that if it weren’t for the training that I received from the teacher I had for your class, I would not be here writing this right now. Any help you can give me for contact information would be greatly appreciated

Thank you,
- Dep. Adam Temple
Sagadahoc County Sheriff’s Dept.

I just got out of your street crimes class at Pasadena PD. My name is John Barnes and I work for Houston P.D. and am currently assigned to the Juvenile Sex Crimes Division. I have been a Police Officer with Houston for 11 years. I have taken most of the decent classes the department offers. I have only been in investigations for a few months before that I was a patrol officer. Most of the advice you gave I had either never heard or had heard but only through other officers on the job and not though any training classes.

The class was great! All of the guys I work with have been talking about what a great class it was. The guys assigned to the academy with our agency are full time training officers and most, if not all, of them spent a few years on the street and the rest of the time training at the academy. It was very nice to hear from someone that had a great deal of experience and was not constantly talking about the general orders of the department.

The stories you told kept the class interesting and were relevant to what ever topic you were discussing at the time. I will certainly pass this class on to my peers and highly recommend it. Thanks again for some great information and a very entertaining class.

Thanks,
- John Barnes

Mr. McCarthy,

I recently attended a Street Crimes Seminar instructed by Mr. Guerrero in Lynchburg, VA and first and foremost I would like to share with you how great the class was. I’ve only been an officer for four years but have been fortunate enough to attend several schools and by far, this was the best, most applicable training I’ve received. I’ve already suggested this seminar to friends at the PD. Not only was the written and visual material phenomenal but Mr. Guerrero was able to illustrated the points being made with his own stories/hints/ideas. It is rare that a young officer can leave a class without feeling inundated by self-accolading war stories from seasoned officers and I was pleasantly surprised not to be talked down to for my inexperience; all the material seemed genuinely offered as a guide with which to better ourselves. Thanks.
