Recent Testimonials

"Best Part of the 2008 ILEETA Conference"

"I sat in on your presentation on Thursday and then understood why you were honored as the Trainer of the Year. I have been preaching your driving death stats to anyone who will listen around here.  I was totally unaware of this preventable aspect of annual officer deaths and have already challenged all of our supervisors here to take increased notice of all driving related complaints."

"Travis, I met you on Wednesday April 30th at the ESLETS Conference in Lake George, NY.  I was at your table in the morning.  I asked where you were from and when I realized who you were, that I read your articles.  Anyway, I enjoyed your presentation as did the other two officers from my PD."

Captain Yates, You were the keynote speaker at the New York State Traffic Safety
Conference recently in Glen Falls, N.Y. Your seminar on Police Pursuits is 
something everyone in Law Enforcement needs to hear. Too often in Law Enforcement we 
wait until a tragedy before we start to evaluate our practices. Your seminar discussed 
not only the relevant issues regarding pursuits, but most importantly provided practical solutions that I can
pass along to the members of my department.
