"Peter Cooper Village Stuyvesant Town employs over forty NYS Department of Criminal Justice Services certified Peace Officers. In our last three Peace Officer Academy Training classes, I have had the privilege of using ARES Tactics as our defensive tactics and emergency management trainers. The experience and professionalism of the ARES group cannot be surpassed. ARES trainers engaged each of the cadets in critical thinking scenarios that empowered their confidence and professionalism. I would highly recommend the ARES group for any of your tactical or emergency management solution needs.”
