“Fred is the type of leader our nation needs, not only in law enforcement, but in any organization that wants to evolve with its operating environment; which is changing at lightning speed. While Fred credits my work, it is easier to advise on the "how-to." Fred has actually had the strength of character to implement new ideas to make his policemen and women better at their difficult job.”

“Fred has been associated licensed to use our materials for some time and is a pioneer in bringing Sun Tzu's strategic principles to law enforcement.”

"…terrorism continues to be a huge problem and having the opportunity to attend this type of training is very helpful in both awareness and enforcement efforts. I would highly recommend this class to all law enforcement agencies.”

“The overall program was very professional due to the knowledge and expertise of the instructor, Fred Leland. He was able to create a relaxed and informal climate for the participants that allowed them to feel comfortable asking questions and making comments. The interruptions never interfered with the presentation and Fred was always able to answer questions, give examples and then transition effortlessly back into his material.

It was apparent throughout the two-day training that Fred has a passion for teaching the Boyd Cycle to law enforcement and security personnel. He fully understands the concepts and is able to convey their meaning to others. His sincerity and commitment was obvious to everyone in attendance. All participants remained engaged and never lost interest in the subject matter. Fred’s enthusiasm certainly attributed to their positive interaction and attentiveness.

Fred Leland is a dynamic presenter. He is thorough, knowledgeable, professional and committed to his subject matter. There was only one downside to his training for the Williams College Campus Safety and Security Department; simply stated, it should have lasted four days rather than just two.

One of the most impressive aspects of Fred Leland’s presentation is his ability to engage the audience. He possesses full knowledge of the subject matter and relates it to real life experiences so everyone can make the connection; concepts become reality for the audience.

Without any hesitation or doubts, Fred Leland will be invited back to Williams College to provide additional training for the CSS staff.”

"I have taught and attended classes with Fred. He is an outstanding Instructor and has an uncanny knack at making his students understand the concepts he is teaching by including them in discussion and by providing real life examples. He truly cares about his work and it shows. He is a strong leader and commander both at his police agency and in his consulting business. His knowledge of tactics, and more importantly, the history and mechanics behind them, is top notch."

“…Passionate, enthusiastic; unique perspective and experience was important to have exposure to; clearly an expert in this area lending to high credibility among the group.”

“I manage the New England Contract for Security Consultants Group. I have done this for two years. This is a Federal Security Contract for the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Protective Service. During this time I have had several instructors to teach our security officers. I was fortunate enough to bring Fred Leland of Law Enforcement and Security Consulting Inc. on board a year and a half ago. I hire only the best qualified candidates for a position with SCG and now I have the best qualified instructor to conduct the month of training that is required for each candidate. I was a Command Police Officer for thirty years and I have two College Degrees and without a doubt Fred Leland is the very best instructor that I have ever seen. The training my Security Officers receive is more up to date than the training many Police Officers receive in matters of Homeland Security. Approval was given to me by the Federal Protective Service almost immediately when I proposed bringing in Fred Leland to teach on this Federal Contract. Fred has the highest respect and reputation with members of Federal Law Enforcement. Fred Leland conducts various training for me on a quarterly basis. This training consists of a 72 hour Basic Security Officer Course, 40 hours Firearms Course, Baton Training, Handcuffing Training, Chemical Spray Training, Firearms Qualifications, 40 Hour Refresher Training and Handling Dynamic Encounters.”

“The training that Fred provided to the company, I had previously managed was outstanding. He always brought real world scenarios and training ideas to my security officers. I was always asked for additional training from Fred as all of my officers enjoyed his enthusiasm and energy when teaching. His materials have been used several times by myself while deployed with the US Army National Guard in peace enforcement operations where the use of too much force could destabilize a whole region. I would whole heartedly recommend Fred for any training need you may have.”

“I have had Fred address my staff as a security consultant. His presentation was professional and he spoke as the expert he is. I would highly recommend him as a consultant, trainer or speaker.”
