Success on the Streets
We bring more than four decades of hands-on experience, wisdom and skills to all our courses and trainings. Read what our participants have to say about the value we can provide.
“Any course put on by Kevin Cronister and the staff of Guardian is fantastic. I trust very few outside training programs to bring quality stuff to my officers and Guardian is one of the few. I couldn’t recommend their training more. You won’t find more complete training or high-level instruction anywhere. Sign up for a course. You won’t be disappointed.”– Deputy Police Chief Kirk Lane (Mission, KS Police Department)
“Everything was great, The instructors were helpful with any questions I had, and they had good practical application and reasons as to why this works or this may not work. After the class I’m definitely advocating for a different shield if we’re going to try to implement them into our search warrants and other applications. Thank you guys again!” – Officer Z. Thompson (Cassville, MO Police Department)
“I thought it was well executed. Justin was knowledgeable and made everything cop-proof and offered fantastic personal insights as well. Just as an example of how well the information was conveyed, I took a couple guys from my patrol shift aside last time we worked and gave a quick, impromptu class on the fundamentals and was able to pull just about everything covered in the lesson plan from memory.” -Patrolman C. Puhr (Belton, MO Police Department)
“The instructors of the course understand their craft and breakdown the learning points very well. The courses offered are vast and cover a large amount of subjects LEOs will see on the job. I would highly recommend this company for all your training needs!” – Deputy R. Rodriguez (Johnson County, KS Sheriff’s Office)
“The class was everything we wanted and more! We look forward to future trainings with your company! ~Corporal C. Gearon (Jefferson County, MO Sheriff’s Office)
Amazing training put on by experienced instructors who have real life & up to date knowledge in the field. I attended the Ballistic Shield Instructor Course in KCMO, I HIGHLY recommend those attend who are looking to bring back knowledge and techniques to their department. Thanks again Guardian Training Solutions for the experience! ~ Officer P. Jordan (Webster Groves, MO Police Department)
Went to the 3-day pistol red dot instructor’s course. The training had everything from basic drills to advance drills. Not only did I feel like I became better as an overall shooter, I gained the knowledge to bring drills and training back to my department to teach officers how to shoot with a red dot. Great class! ~ Lt. M. Shinert (Andover, KS Police Department)
I attended the RDS Instructor course. I had no experience with RDS pistols before the course. The instructor relayed information in a way that was easy to understand and build confidence on the sight system. There was not much lag time in the class. If we weren’t shooting, we were reloading and going over talking points. Overall, a fun and very useful three days. ~ Deputy J. Briggs (Lyon County, KS Sheriff’s Office)
I attended the 3 day Ballistic Shield Instructor course and was very pleased with Guardian Training Solutions. The instructors were very passionate about what they taught and most of all they were humble. They were not afraid to share their experiences of past operations (successes and failures). This is a quality not found in most LE trainings. I would 100% take this course again and would recommend it to others. ~ Officer J. Lambrich (Arnold, MO Police Department)
