I’ve been employed with the Los Angeles Police Department for almost thirty-two years and will likely retire in a year. I was fortunate to have attended one of Jan’s Advanced BPA courses many years ago and was able to apply what I learned from her knowledge and experience to a few dozen BPA reports. As a result, I testified as a BPA expert in thirteen Murder Trial during my eighteen years as a Homicide Detective and always remembered what I learned from Jan about how to prepare a quality BPA report and how to avoid giving BPA a bad reputation of “Junk Science”. Last week I testified for the last time as a BPA expert and would like for your clients, students and peers to know that I credit most of my success in the courtroom with what I learned from Forensic Pieces and Jan Johnson. Thank you.
Instructor [Teresa Bryant] was extremely knowledgeable and experienced!
Instructor is obviously very knowledgeable. Encouraged class participation. Use of humor and relaxed easy-going manner made for an enjoyable class, although the subject matter could have been daunting.
Very informative and entertaining. Kept my interest throughout the entire week. Instructor was extremely easy to talk to and ask questions.
The fact that the comparison packets are adjusted to each individual and that they can vary in difficulty is amazing! No other class is like that.
Instructor was awesome and has ample knowledge of subject matter. I enjoyed the case studies in the course.
This has been one of my favorite courses I've taken so far. The material wasn't so overwhelming, it was presented in ways I could understand, and overall was fun!
Very engaging, never felt put on the spot and instructor was great with delivering material.
I loved all the case examples and having us figure them out. I learn better when I can do it. It would have been boring with text only.
I thought the class was a perfect balance of lecture time and practical, real-world exercises. A perfect course for an introduction into forensic studies. The hands-on experience has planted a permanent interest in forensics.
Great class! It felt perfectly fitting to my work and felt easier to understand. I believe that has a lot to do with the instructor and format of the class.
Doc was awesome and first hand knowledge on some of the cases were helpful. I also appreciate the binder/handouts to bring back and share with my peers.
