Production

For many years I worked with The National Tactical Officers Association helping them with tactial training programs they used throughout the country training SWAT and police officers. I approached A&E with the concept of looking at how SWAT teams train and react to a variety of situations. I worked with then Director of the NTOA Larry Glick to arrange a host of interviews, actual SWAT missions and training excerises for the production. A&E connected me with Kurtis productions, the program would be a special episode of Investigative Reports. My responsibilities included,
