John was a great instructor. He stayed engaged the entire class, inspired great group discussions, and had fun with debates over case topics. It was also appreciated that he used relevant case law to our state instead of generalizations. Highly recommend the 3 day class with him!

John Cajabob is very knowledgeable and does a great job presenting information in a very understandable way. Would recommend sitting in on one of his courses to any new Officer or Officer looking for a much needed refresher on everything search and seizure.

John was very knowledgeable with everything related to the advanced investigations class. He provided very easy to understand content that directly relates to investigations from the patrol level to detectives. He also was able to provide guidance to scenarios and questions related to previous cases I approached him about. I would highly recommend John and this class to anyone.

The Advanced Criminal Investigation and Interview & Interrogation Case Law courses facilitated by John Cajacob were great. Mr. Cajacob presented the material in a way that allowed everyone in attendance to not only understand, but able to apply what we learned to the job. The case law course should be a mandatory requirement for all police academies.`
