What people are saying about TAT’s law enforcement training:

“Excellent instruction from both trainers. Well done and informative.” - Maine CVEU Officer

“This was very enlightening and informative. So often, officers get so focused on finding drugs that they overlook indicators of other criminal activity like trafficking. Every trooper in the MSHP needs this. Great job teaching!” -Missouri Highway Patrol Officer

“I have a better understanding about trafficking and am able to distinguish between the abuser and the abused.” - Mississippi DOT Officer
