REVIEWS FROM OUR CLIENTS
  • This was a very well put together class! This course could not have been run any better. One of the best, if not THE best class I have ever attended.

    Executive Protection Agent
    Florida

  • I have attended many training courses over the past 35 years and this ranks as one of the Top 5 I have ever attended. Well done!

    C.P.
    SWAT Deputy and Training Officer (Ret.)

  • Amazing!

    G.D.

  • The best EP course I have attended. I cannot wait until KDI's intermediate course!

    R. W.
    Police Officer

  • I sincerely enjoyed training and learning this week. I was eager to take the course and it exceeded my expectations. Thank you for your insights and patient training style. Looking forward to seeing the team again soon!"

    S.M.

  • As most of you know, training is my life. This is THE BEST training that I have ever experienced! 80 hours of scenario based training crammed into 7 days for Dignitary Protection. A very special thanks to Karl de la Guerra and his staff.

  • I would like to commend KDI Houston on a job well done. Your officers were professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. If we return to Houston, I would not hesitate to use KDI again.

    M. Z.
    Conference Director

  • Today's training on setting a baseline for each assignment was definitely a good point for me. I have always worked on identifying potential actual threats to the client or premises, but definitely a learning point for me is understanding the need to identify any threats as perceived by the client or other persons involved in the assignment. I will definitely adhere to identifying both types of threat going forward. Looking forward to continued opportunities to learn from you and your team members in future sessions.

    Team Leader

  • I just participated in training in “Counter Assault Team (CAT) Concepts in Executive Protection” by Karl de la Guerra of KDI Protective Services. This was a very informative class on a very important concept in executive protection that can also be applied to other security and protection details. Karl is very knowledgeable about this topic, engaged the participants, and was very open to the discussions that ensured. I learned quite a bit we will be incorporating on our team. Thank you Karl!

  • Karl, Just wanted to say thanks! It is always a plus when you attend your training and learn a new way to do things, and the reasoning behind those ways. Enjoyed the class Counter Assault Team Concept in Executive Protection, and look forward to the opportunity to participate in future Tuesday programs. Appreciate your willingness to accept a stranger into your fold!
