“I had the opportunity to meet people from various law enforcement sectors and other countries. That in and of itself provided some unanticipated learning events.  I was particularly excited about some one-on-one learning opportunities with Michael Janich, from Spyderco, and Chris Cerino.  Both individuals extended themselves beyond my expectations and I was able to take back some very important training insight that will enhance my effectiveness in my job and perhaps save my life or that of others.  And finally, the two general session speakers were interesting and motivating.  I left this expo with a new look at old things.“
