Students Are Saying:

Response to the Non-Criminal Barricade

“Every officer at every agency needs to attend this class! It should have been covered in the academy but sadly it isn’t.”

— K9 Officer Ty Clark, Boise PD (ID)

Internal Affairs/Officer-Involved Shooting Investigations

“First-hand, real life experiences from the instructors made the learning environment easy to understand.”

— Sgt. RC, Santa Barbara PD (CA)

Modern Crisis Negotiations

“Learning from active police officers who are negotiators was phenomenal. I learned a ton and now I’m more confident to do my job.”

— Deputy Jakub Mejstrik – Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Office (OH)

Field Training Officer Basic

“I was anxious about the public speaking portion of teaching but you guys made the classroom a comfortable place to learn. If anyone is on the fence about attending, I would say don’t be as long as you attend the Savage Training Group version of the FTO course. It was a cutting-edge presentation of the material.”

— Deputy B., Sonoma County Sheriff’s Department (CA)

Science-Based Interviewing

"My favorite part of the course was the student interaction that kept everyone engaged. I'm excited to get to work to try these techniques and teach others."

— Ofc. Lupita Figueroa, Rohnert Park Dept. of Public Safety (CA)

Field Training Officer Basic

“You will be doing your future trainee, the training program, your department and yourself a complete disservice if you pass up this class. All of your questions will be answered and if not, the instructors will work tirelessly to find you the answer.”

— Officer S. Clayton, Tracy PD (CA)

Response to the Non-Criminal Barricade

“This course brings clarity to a confusing and complex issue.”

— Ofc. A.M., Santa Clara County Law Enforcement Agency, (CA)

Field Training Officer Basic

"I heard that other FTO courses were boring, outdated and were mostly “Death by Power Point” so I wasn’t interested in attending. After attending the Savage Training Group FTO course I felt more informed, more educated and better equipped because this course was informative and utilized interactive teaching styles. This course was unlike any course I have attended or even heard of. My favorite part of the course was the legal and liability aspects as it related to supervising. To anybody who is on the fence about attending I would tell them go!”

— Deputy Geoff Hoffman, San Mateo County Sheriff's Office (CA)

Use of Force for Field Officers

"Before this course I was lacking supervisory experience when it comes to use of force. This course provided me foundational knowledge coupled with real world examples."

— Ofc. A. Aiello, Marina PD (CA)

Field Training Officer Basic

"Having to evaluate and write Daily Observation Report for the student led scenarios was both entertaining and realistic. I feel much more prepared to write an objective and thorough DOR. I feel bad for the other FTOs at our department who have attended a non-Savage Training Group FTO course. This was hands down the best course I have ever attended."

— Officer B.W., Santa Clara County Law Enforcement Agency (CA)

Field Training Officer Basic

"This course should be the future of Field Training Officer courses.”

— Officer JC, Santa Clara County Law Enforcement Agency (CA)
