TESTIMONIALS
“This is one of the best courses I've taken. Brian is an eloquent presenter and I most appreciated his non-judgmental approach. He's clearly a leader in this area and an excellent presenter. I'm grateful this was offered because what I learned will directly inform both my personal and professional lives.”
Law Enforcement Officer, OPP
“The world religions program was an incredible experience and beneficial both personally and professionally. I would recommend all officers invest in such a program. The knowledge gained can be applied immediately upon return to front line or specialty bureaus in Law Enforcement.”
Law Enforcement Officer, Peel Police
“I had the opportunity to take the course in Summer 2022 and it gave me a newfound appreciation of the impact religions have on our daily lives. Brian is a wealth of knowledge and his lectures were easily digestible.”
