Homemade Explosives Course 2012

Ryan and staff,

I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge with the good guys on the front line. Although this is not the first course I have attended with TRIPWIRE your professionalism and knowledge in this field is unsurpassed. I and my staff are always intrigued by the new advances in the field of homeland security here and your knowledge abroad. Your timely response to questions for the K-9 handler is remarkable. The HME class was remarkable. I heard Bomb Techs say, “I don’t believe what I have learned.” And I have heard seasoned Bomb dog handlers say “I never thought about that.” Any agency through out the world that is involved in EOD work will learn a real lesson from any courses taught at TRIPWIRE. The Chemists are for real, the staff is for real, and there is no down time like many seminars. It is go, go go, with safety in mind at all times. Tripwire is the real deal for gaining knowledge, and being one step ahead of those that wish us harm.

Thank you, Ryan, Chris, Tony, Jess, & all the folks behind the scenes.

Sincerely,

Dave Balmat

Ryan,

Ryan, the event was a great success and we are very appreciative of Tripwire's support.  We set off 40 explosive charges and all went off without a hitch.  Thank you very much for the items you donated and I, along with our entire SWAT community, look forward to working with you and Tripwire in the future. 

Thanks again

Ryan,
I have to say you guys are the best.  My Chief extends his thanks as well in being so dilegent with getting us taken care of.  We are a small PD with only 6 officers and the Chief.  So, our budget as you may guess isn't one to support a pricey K9 Unit.  Seeing as I owned my dog prior to being employed here, and that he was already trained with experience over seas with me, my PD made out like a bandit on the price of a police dog.  Grant money paid for the vehicle being outfitted, the food is donated from a local pet supplier, and misc. expenses are taken care of, but kept to a minimum by me.  I am the only handler for the PD, and probably will be for a while.  So, your company working the delivery fee's out and making this happen has been a blessing for us to be able to maintain my dog to the best of our ability.  Our police department is one that supports a commuter rail road from South Bend Indiana to Chicago Illinois, and we handle over 1 million people yearly, 5 countys, 2 states, over 95 miles of rail.  We need to be on our game at all times, having a well trained Explosives Detector Dog is of my greatest concern.  When my "acquired" aides started getting quite deteriorated, I searched locally to acquire more, but haven't been able to get what is really needed.  Thanks to you guys, man did you make it happen.  I almost don't know where to start.  Thank you again, and I (we) will definitely be in touch, for any further needs (wants).  Stay safe.

Ryan,

Thank you very much for the handlers course and the K-9 Explosive kit we ordered. Our K-9 unit could not be more pleased with this product and your company. Your course was very well put together and squared away. Your experience and knowledge of explosives was impressive and very professional. I would personally recommend you to anyone in the K-9 community. Thanks again for the very personal treatment and we look forward to training together in the future.

Thank you,

Hello Ryan –
I apologize for taking so long to send this “Thank You” to you and your staff for having us at the May/2009 Advanced Explosive K9 Detection Search Course held in LaCrosse, WI. All I can say is that your course was absolutely awesome and that John Farrell and I both were extremely impressed with the subject matter experts, your staff and the course curriculum. There is no doubt, that Tripwire’s Advanced Explosive K9 Detection Search Course provided valuable “real world” information, training scenarios and instructor expertise that are quite frankly, hard to come by in the normal course of business. We will endeavor to “think outside the box” as we carry on about our normal course of duties, in part, due to Tripwire’s excellent training.

Hi Ryan,
Just a quick e-mail to let you know that I was very impressed with you, your entire staff, and your organization. My supervisors and peers were all over me for information about the course. If you have no objections, I would like to be kept in the training loop so that I may attend additional courses, and hopefully, be able to bring some of my supervisors out to see your group in action.
Please pass on to your staff my appreciation for a job well done!
Thanks Again!

We recently purchased K-9 training materials from Tripwire Operations Group.  Not only are the materials in the K-9 training kit top quality at a fair price, but the attention to detail and service after the sale were top notch.  The Kit was delivered as promised and Tripwire Operations Group has availed themselves to me for all of my follow –up concerns and questions.  Tripwire Operations Group is the only explosives distributor I will use for my detector dog training at my agency and in my personal K-9 Training business.   Thanks again Ryan and the rest of the staff at Tripwire Operations Group for establishing a working relationship – not just making a sale.
