I met Jeremy at Illinois State University Police Department and worked with him for almost 3 years. I got introduced to his training when he offered to help other officers in defensive tactics and hosted small classes at the gym that he taught at. I found the classes very helpful and I feel more confident in my abilities to not rely on the things on my duty belt. He is very passionate about his work and he breaks things down very thoroughly. I truly believe if most people were confident in their abilities, it could reduce the need to use excessive force. No matter the amount of experience you already have or don't have, Jeremy is the guy to help you keep up with your training or start something new.
