As a result, Dan and co-worker, Mike Giammarino, developed an Introduction to Law Enforcement Auditing Course specifically for law enforcement professionals. The training was developed in terms and concepts familiar to law enforcement professionals and relevant to current law enforcement issues.

In cooperation with the International Law Enforcement Auditors Association (ILEAA) we taught our first course in 2008. Our objective has always been; to train law enforcement professionals in auditing and inspections techniques that have been successfully used to, satisfy accreditation requirements; Reduce law enforcement liability, crime statistics, operational costs, and significantly Improve compliance. Over the years we have trained hundreds of law enforcement professionals from the United States and Canada.

In addition to our associates we utilize professionals we have developed relationships with over the years to conduct training and audits/assessments. These individuals have demonstrated their expertise in a number of actual training environments as well as inspections and audit engagements.
