MERIT GROUP Meth Lab Training Testimonials

HEAR what our students are saying...

"Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the Combined Meth Lab Response
training class in Greenwood. As a State Constable I am responsible for all my
own uniforms, gear and training like I explained to you. Your kindness and
genuine concern for the growing meth problem allowed me to be a part of what was
unquestionably the best training I have ever received. I cannot say enough good
things about the class and the way you taught it. Teaching meth chemistry to a
varied group of people with potentially little or no background in chemistry has to
be a challenge in itself, but you did an EXCELLENT job! I can tell you that
the guys in your class actually learned the material and were excited to get out
and put their knowledge to work on the streets. Your common sense approach
was great. Seeing the actual labs really helped to show us exactly what we are
dealing with and how to protect ourselves from potential health hazards not only
now, but in the future.
As a candidate for the SC State Legislature, the information you and Fred
taught me will hopefully prove to be invaluable as I work to put common sense
legislation in place to help combat the growing meth epidemic. As an officer,
what you taught me could prove to save my life. If i can ever help you in any
way, please don't hesitate to contact me any time. Thanks Again."
(Shannon Riley, SC State Constable)

"Over the last six years I have learned bits and pieces of what I thought Meth
Labs were, or how dangerous they truly are..... Turns out I knew NOTHING.
Your training provided me with real world knowledge of the types of Meth Labs
and effective ways to collect evidence and dismantle each lab. This was by far the
BEST training I have ever had. Thank you Jake and Merit for providing the best
Meth Lab Training out there!"
(Jason Bonds, Abbeville County Sheriffs Office, Abbeville, South Carolina)

"Great course. Great instructors. Great investment in my budget dollars.
Strongly suggest other academy directors host this training! You'll see a strong
return in court defensible subject matter experts that won't let you down, and will
be available to you later."
(Capt. Kenny Sanders, Regional Academy Director, Shreveport, LA)

"The class provides on-hands learning that allows for better retainment which is
better then strict classroom book work. The lessons are invaluable and life
saving." (Louisiana)

"Great training. I have used the information and knowledge gained during
training on a daily basis. The best class I have ever attended. Keep up the great
work."
(Investigator Scott Prater, Smyth County Virginia Sheriff's Office)

"I recently attented a Meth Lab course in Slidell. I thought it was an excellent
course. The presentation was "down to earth" and the instructor was a great guy
as well! I learned alot more than I did when I attended another company's version
of that class!!"
(Dennis Bush, Narcotics, Slidell, LA Police Department)

"We took the 40 hour class and it was very informative, the instructor(s) were
great and gave us all the information they knew. The Merit Meth lab class is
being honored by the state police here in my state, so if we attended Merits class
we did not have to attend the State Police Meth lab class!! Can't get much better
than that!!"
(Investigator, Bi State Narcotics Task Force)

"Since the training received at MERIT, I have been able to work the job more
effectively with full knowledge of what I am dealing with. This was one of the
most valuable on point training that I have received that deals directly with all
the aspects of this job. Without this training, I would have been lost." (Investigator
James Choate, Florida)

"The 16-hour Meth Lab Response Training was well-designed and well-delivered,
specifically due to Jake Kelton's vast knowledge and experience. All attendees
walked away with valuable information and skills that they could put to use
immediately. I would highly recommend this course for all first responders!"
(George Wade, East Franklin Fire Department)

"I can honestly say that your class was one of , if not the best class that I have
ever attended. Look forward to attending more of Merit's classes in the future."
(Narcotics Investigator, Trinity County Sheriff's Dept.)

"In 23 years of law enforcement this class is the best training I have ever had in
my career." (Chief Juan Gonzales, San Juan, TX)

"I couldn't get over how interesting the training was and it was taught at a level
that we all understood!" (Adult Probation and Parole Officer)

"I didn't have any meth lab training before, but I am confident about the hazards
of meth lab investigations now, thanks Jake."
(Police Officer, Warren PD, Warren, PA)

"You taught in a way that we all understood and the information was really
understandable." (Pennsylvania State Trooper)

Thanks Jake!"
