“I am pleased to provide this professional testimony for Craig Garcia, whose teaching skills and dedication to the education of Special Agents for the Secret Service Mobile Wireless Investigations program has been invaluable. 

 Craig possesses an outstanding ability to convey complex concepts with clarity and enthusiasm. His deep knowledge of the subject matter not only enriches the learning experience but also inspires students to engage actively in the classroom. So much so, that we consistently have requests to extend Craig’s classes and to invite him to our annual training for refreshers.  

One of Craig’s greatest strengths is his exceptional interaction with students. He fosters an inclusive environment where every student feels encouraged to participate. His approachable demeanor and genuine interest in student success create a supportive atmosphere conducive to learning. 

In summary, Craig is an outstanding educator whose teaching skills, strong knowledge base, and ability to connect with students make him a tremendous asset to our team. I have no doubt that he will continue to have a positive impact on the lives of many learners and help the Secret Service successfully complete our dual mission. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and we look forward to seeing Craig for our next MWI Basic Course.”

“I received my SME certification plaque last week and wanted to express my sincere gratitude. Over the course of my 25-year career in DEA, I've attended numerous training courses, but none have been as comprehensive or impactful as the training I received from you.  

Given our shared experience in both street operations and supervisory roles within law enforcement, it’s truly refreshing to see someone with your extensive training and service still so passionate about preparing LEOs to this high standard.  Not only did I gain a solid understanding of the material, but I also had the opportunity to observe how you effectively presented case summaries and materials to the class in both the Fugitive Mission and SME blocks of instruction.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and dedication to your work, and for always being available to answer questions (nights/weekends) throughout my SME coursework. I truly appreciate all the effort you put into making these training courses so impactful and your dedication to all the LEO's across the United States attending the classes. “
