“Can you believe that only a few days after the course was over, I had to utilize what I had learned at the class. It came together pretty quickly. The whole verbalization and getting people’s attention really makes the difference. But I forgot the whole left/left right/right thing….I still got the cuffs on safely and quickly, oh yes the proper fit and placement too. Thanks again for such an awesome training.” Shawn W. Brown, Security Supervisor – Fort Defiance Indian Hospital________________________________________________________________
