Craig Anderson, New Berlin Police Officer – A letter to Illinois MTU 10
To Director Petty, Mobile Team 10
  • I just had to take the time to write you after my training experience in the last two classes that Jeff Baile has conducted. The training has all ready proved to be invaluable for me in the little town of New Berlin. Mr. Baile’s training and experience in this area of training is second to none in my opinion and I was saddened to hear that he is the only person in all the area to conduct such training. I can only hop and pray that the MTU continues to bring Mr. Baile back for future trainings as made available per his scheduled and etc. I have been and continue recommending to other sin law enforcement that his is a must attend training if opportunity arises. I would highly recommend that all recruits PT or FT be mandated for this training. It is truly priceless. Thanks again Mr. Baile and look forward to part 3 training.

Lt. Steve Ashcraft, Illinois Detective
  • I already have recommended this to several other IDOC investigators since attending one of Jeff’s other courses. Very professional and informative presentation. Ease of instructor’s way of presenting material greatly increases retention of material.

 

Darrek Galloway, Pawnee Illinois Police Department
  • The videos put things into perspective. Every part was very well organized and researched. Body language and lie detection is something patrol officers deal with daily. This course is very practical.

 

Randy Plunk, Illinois Law Enforcement Trainer
  • In our department we have several investigators and this training would be excellent for our staff. I would recommend this class be given annually to our investigators. I am hoping to attend additional training by Mr. Baile. Excellent use of person experience.
