The guys went above and beyond their standard duties by taking the time to really make sure Phil was Ok at all times, and the rest of us on site! Particular praise has to be given to Adam and Raz – due to their brilliance, we actually became dependant on them and were worried if they could not make a shift!"

Adam Conn receives great feedback on his crime scene preservation course for licensed premises. This course is currently being developed by the BIIAB into a national qualification. The comment is from the NPIA, who assess training courses for the Police.
"The National Initial Learning Design Team have reviewed your product and we offer the following observations:
Overall this is an interesting, engaging and beneficial course that appears to suit the needs of the recipients. It will almost certainly benefit the emergency services when dealing with incidents where staff having undertaken this learning are involved. The potential benefits to Police Service, through a wide adoption of this programme would be specifically around coordinated action with emergency services and preservation of scenes of crime and potential evidence.
The outcomes of the course are generally conducive with those in the national curriculum of the Initial Police Learning and Development Programme for Police Constables (IPLDP) and the delivery methods adopted are engaging and appropriate for the subject matter taught.
Once again many thanks for your application and congratulations on what appears to be a valuable product."
Yours sincerely
Helen Schofield
