Tactical Strategies & Concepts Inc

Here's what our students have been saying!     

 

Being enthusiastic about a subject is good. Being knowledgeable about a subject is great. Being able to teach that subject to others and instill the same enthusiasm you have is fantastic. Eric Ives knows his subject very well and was able to teach my officers and bolster their confidence so they can perform to the best of their abilities. I look forward to working with Eric and Tactical Strategies and Concepts, Inc. again in the near future.

Introduction to Close Quarters Battle Course                          November 29, 2008 hosted by NJ SPCA Humane Police

Eric,

On behalf of my entire unit, I would like to thank you for the eye-opening training we received in your Introduction to CQB course.  You and your staff are knowledgeable, professional, and above all, good instructors. We each walked away from the class both humbled by what we thought we knew, but discovered we didn't, and we are better officers for taking those first few steps necessary to start changing the mindset to survival mode, and discarding the "it won't happen here" attitude. I look forward to being a student in your classes in the future.

Eric,

I can't begin to tell you how much I learned from your class. I feel all Police should go through this training, even if they never get into a shooting. Hope to train with you again.

TSC response to "229 Threat"                                                           Active Shooter Tactical Operations & Rescue Course                 February 28, 2008

TSC Instructors give tactically sound advice for real world situations. This class gives thought into how to address an active shooter situation and how to respond appropriately to it in a highly volatile situation. I highly recommend this course to all law enforcement officers.

Active Shooter Tactical Operations & Rescue Course                 February 11, 2008 hosted by Belleville Arson Squad

Eric Ives; T.S.C President,

On behalf of the Belleville Fire Department and the Arson Squad, I thank you for taking time out of your full schedule to present the Active Shooter Tactical Operations & Rescue Course for the arson squad investigators. While public safety agencies train and prepare for another inevitable large-scale terrorist attack, it is the school shootings and hostage situations that are persistent in our society. The information you and your instructors presented to us is greatly appreciated and adds to our “tool box” when and if the need arises. The tactical concepts we participated in were an eye-opener for our members and will serve to remind us to expect the unexpected even on the most routine of our duties. We extend our gratitude for your services and would highly recommend you to other public safety agencies.

     Sincerely,

     Anthony DeBerto
     Battalion Chief
     Arson Squad Commander
