“We have developed an important professional relationship with ARES Tactics over the course of the last several years. Their trainers have conducted seminars ranging over subjects from the Active Shooter phenomenon to street operational defensive tactics for the security personnel of CCNY. Our officers invariably leave these seminars better prepared, more knowledgeable and more confident. Russell and Danny are in every way subject matter experts and, just as importantly, they take pride in how material is presented. They have an extraordinary capacity to connect with an audience. This facilitates the learning process in a powerful way.
The trainers of ARES have a unique and leading edge approach to developing an effective mindset for security and work and their knowledge of how to shape practical strategies that work under the stress of real world interactions is invaluable.
We hope to continue to work with them in the future and recommend them to any organization looking to prepare for the kind of high stakes, perilous situations that are part and parcel of law enforcement and security work.”
