Brandon Fehrenbacher – Illinois Conservation Police (Two-day Practical Interrogation Course 2010)
To Lt. Bumgarner – Training Supervisor
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to attend Jeff Baile’s Advanced Interrogation Class. It was some of the best training I have received while employed as a Conservation Police Officer. The class material was interesting and will be extremely useful in obtaining confessions and solving more complex cases for our agency. I am grateful to get invited to the class, and was impressed with the training I received. I typically find it difficult to sit in a classroom setting and concentrate for long periods of time. I never had this problem during Jeff’s class. I could not get enough of the subject matter. I am convinced the training he taught is crucial to becoming a better Conservation Police Officer, and I plan on continuing to practice and improve on all the skills I learned during Jeff’s class. This is the training we need. Jeff’s class gave me the confidence to know I can beat the hard to crack violator by using the techniques he taught us in the class. I hope in the future we can offer all of our officers this course. It is obvious that a lot of thought, time, effort, and passion for the subject matter went into preparing this class. Jeff’s enthusiasm for interrogation techniques spread throughout the classroom the first hour of day one. The classroom discussions and participation were evidence of that. He is an excellent teacher and continues to represent the Illinois Conservation Police to the upmost standards!
