“Eau Claire County SWAT team operators have been training with TFTT/DAG for several years now and we practice the concepts and methodology of TFTT religiously. Max Joseph has developed procedures for tactics and safe operations that all SWAT operators should follow. Our Statewide ALERT teams have used TFTT and Max Joseph repeatedly to train high risk situations and snipers and have plans to continue in that direction. Max is a highly motivated and qualified instructor that understands the contemporary needs of tactical officers and trains them to be their best when that counts the most.”

“We’ve found the courses to be demanding, informational, engaging, and practical in regards to some of the high risk situations that we may encounter.”  – Beloit Police Dep’t

“From rookies to experienced operators, DAG/TFTT training will markedly improve the capabilities and confidence of your agency’s personnel. Max’s effective methods and tactics, coupled with a strong safety focus, will result in a high degree of uniformity across your agency. The common feature across all DAG/TFTT training is a core philosophy that will change your agency’s firearms culture for the better.”

Executive Chief Deputy, Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office

In October 2014 Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office held a High Risk Operator School that was instructed by TFTT/DAG.  The primary instructor was Max Joseph.  This HRO School exceeded the expectations of the Sheriff’s Office personnel.  In the curriculum taught there was instruction on Two Man Team tactics, Room Combat, PSD, Vehicle Assaults and Patrolling.  The Two Man Team Tactics in my opinion is a subject all patrol officers need not just the tactical operators.  The whole course of instruction made the officers of the Sheriff’s Office better tactical operators, patrol officers and safer all the way around.  The instructor Max Joseph is a no nonsense instructor.  All practical drills done with live fire are done in the safest manner at all times.  His delivery of the information is made to where all involved will understand the lesson.  This is top notch training.  The Deaf Smith County Sheriff’s Office will host another course of instruction with TFTT/DAG.

TFTT/DAG has been the primary organization we’ve used to equip our men with the combat skills necessary to operate in the current conflicts.  The training has allow our troops to conduct their field craft as Explosive Ordnance Disposal operators in hostile environments with the confidence that they can engage the enemy at any time.  Over the years of training with TFTT, our teams have transitioned into true combat enablers with the ability to reduce hazardous devices while simultaneously aiding our supported elements with combating the enemy – the skills you have provided this unit have been put to the test countless times in both conflicts.
