Testimonials
Mr. Tom Patire has been a lead instructor at various federal law enforcement seminars that we have participated. His CDT program is simple, very effective and focuses on key elements of officer and subject safety as well as the liability of the agent and organization. I would highly recommend Mr. Tom Patire as an instructor to your organization for de-escalation and control tactics.
Nicholas J. Zubulake – Special Agent/Tactics Instructor FBI
In 1997, I read an article titled "What is every Security Director's biggest fear? The lawsuit." CDT is the remedy for the concerned executive about how to manage an unruly or violent individual(s). Implicit in the training model is the expectation that the security or law enforcement officer is being recorded; with the advent of body cams (cameras), the complete video/audio of a violent person most often is exculpatory and clears the officer, if he/she is trained. Knowledge of what to do, as well as what to say, is a skill Tom Patire has honed into an easy to learn system (CDT), regardless of the health or skill set of the individual taking the training. It’s a must for all organizations, public or private.
