Our training goals are simple: we strive to make ourselves, our families, and our communities safer through professional, affordable, and attainable training and education. To quote Edmund Burke, “the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Profound words, quite possibly more meaningful today than they were when penned over 200 years ago.
