Three week Auto Theft Task Force Investigator Training Course COMMENTS: Hands down the best training I have ever received in 27 years on the job. I felt this class exposed me to very realistic situations and gave me plenty to think about for future operations. Thanks - Sgt. D. Sconce - Denver P.D. (M.A.T.T.)
What your teaching will save someones life. This is my third class and Im looking forward to my fourth. Ive been through several training classes in 24 years, and yours hands down are the best. Det. J. Obechina - Jefferson County Sheriffs Office (M.A.T.T.)
This is the best training course I have had in 33 years of law enforcement. The chop shop class in San Diego was also excellent Det. Art Peterson - Jefferson County Sheriffs Office - (M.A.T.T.)
This is by far the best and most complete police training course. The level of training and hands on practicals is sure to not only make us better investigators but probably save our lives. THANK YOU. Det. P. Rathbun - Aurora P.D. (D.M.A.T.T.)
Probably the best training I have ever received. I will, no doubt, be able to return to work as a better cop. The classroom setting was very comfortable & the instructors were great (and entertaining). Again the critiques during the debriefings allowed me to learn & immediately apply it to mistakes I made earlier in the field. Thank you, I really appreciate all of your time & instruction. (The restaurant gift cards were awesome). Inv. E. Smith - Arapahoe County Sheriffs Office (M.A.T.T.)
Outstanding training class. Top notch training. Enjoyed the training, hope to get more or attend another LCI Services class. Det. S. Templeton - Lakewood P.D. (M.A.T.T.)
The 3 weeks provided useful information and surveillance tactics. It should be required training for all Colorado Auto Theft Task Forces. Very good job. Det. B. Johnson - Arvada P.D. (M.A.T.T.) This was the best training course I have attended. Good information/training/techniques with follow-up scenarios to show what was learned. Then, critiques to allow class to improve. Excellent class! Id be interested in future classes. Inv. D. Chavez - Colorado Attorney Generals Office
This was one of the best classes that I have attended. For the type of work that I do on a day to day basis, I have learned several things that will make me more effective and efficient. Inv. K. Barrett - Colorado State Patrol (D.M.A.T.T.)
The field problem concept is unique to LCI and this investigators opinion, the best training Ive ever received. It can be related to getting firearm training without ever firing a weapon. I feel like we students got plenty of firing practice when it came to rolling surveillance & U/C work. Thanks. Det. B. D. Montoya - Denver P.D. (MA.T.T.)
I thought this was a great class and have taken a lot of information away. I believe I will be more confident in rolling surv. and just in general putting cases together. It was clear to see you put a lot of time and effort into this class. It was well worth it and I would highly recommend it. Thanks. Det. C. Cruiser - Aurora P.D. - (D.M.A.T.T.)
Thanks for all the gift cards - that was really cool of you. Overall - Great Training. Det. C. Hemming - Wheat Ridge P.D. (M.A.T.T.)

Strong interaction with class by instructors (even if we hate Sonny). Det. J. Lietz - Denver P.D. (M.A.T.T.)

Very good class, Thanks for all your efforts behind the scenes to make scenarios realistic. I learned more than I expected. Inv. J. Desanti - Colorado State Patrol (D.M.A.T.T.)
