Critical Incident Strategies
Smyrna, TN
Officers Todd Bryant and Dustin Fait
HCP Class Cost $80

615-347-0787
I know both Todd and Dustin from their roles as Smyrna police officers and their involvement in the community, as well as working with them in business. They are real, honest guys who don't play "tacticool" and won't try to impress your girlfriend with their machismo. (You know the kind I'm talking about... I can't freaking stand that!) Their knowledge and advice comes from years of training of all kinds that they have attended, and real world experince as officers and SWAT team members. Anyways, I have had friends take their HCP course and all of them gave glowing reviews. They do more than just paper punching and really open up their students' minds to what can actually happen in a self-defense situation. We've all heard the awesome reviews on here about their defensive carbine, pistol, and shotgun classes, too. Once we can get our calendar straight, my wife will be taking her permit course here.

Also, I would be comfortable sending my wife, mom, sister if I had one, to these classes with any of the instructors. If I could only get my wife interested.....I saw that they have a women's only permit class, taught by a woman, Kristen. She taught my kids in the kids class that they have. Can't say enough with how pleased I've been.
