“I was very fortunate to have been able to participate in this training program in its infancy and learn how the Israeli Police and Defense Forces have fought the war on terror. As a bomb technician, I was able to discuss specific issues with the Israeli Bomb Technicians, as it related to my field of expertise. More importantly, I developed relationships with my Israeli counterparts that will be valuable, both professionally and personally, for years to come.”

---Joe Tenant, Denver Police Bomb Squad 

It has helped in understanding the multiple levels of training and cooperation that must be done here in US. This training program has it all... in my opinion one of the best levels of advanced training available today.   ---Glen Rudner, CRA-USA Inc

“There is no way to replicate the benefit of being on the ground in Israel. The ability to observe the prevention tactics, ask experts questions in the field and review response tactics by visiting actual hard and soft targets within Israel offers participants an unprecedented degree of understanding. Being in the field allows for discussion between and amongst participants and experts and allows scenario-based discussions to uncover stateside techniques and tactics that may not be as effective as perceived. Meeting this challenge requires observations that can only be made on site in Israel.

  ---Battalion Fire Chief, John Donnelly, DC Fire and EMS, Washington D.C.

What People Are Saying

"We sent twenty seven of our professionals to Israel last year. It was a diverse group of students from Medical, Emergency Management, Law Enforcement and Fire disciplines. It was an extremely valuable experience where we heard incredible speakers and had the opportunity to sit down and speak with groups of our peers. We were so impressed with the speakers that we are hosting several of them at our Denver UASI Shared Strategies for Homeland Security conference in December 2010. Their expertise and openness was refreshing and we look forward to bringing them in to share their knowledge with our first responder community.

---Captain Jennifer Steck, Denver UASI

What People Are Saying

“As a professional trainer I highly recommend this training and the methods used by PGS for all disciplines. Nowhere else can you live and experience the threats and security issues faced by a community in constant peril of terrorism and learn the best practice methods to mitigate, prepare, respond, and recover from the threats.”
