Daigle Law Group Trainers
For decades, Daigle Law Group has dedicated its resources toward training our clients and their employees on the best tactics to manage their security operations. These clients include some of the largest employers in the world. All of our trainers have 20+ years of law enforcement experience and have held various leadership positions within their organizations. We don’t just teach these topics, but we have implemented and sustained them in our real-life careers as police officers and executive protection specialists.
When you’re looking for training for your organization, you are always best served by instructors who have practical and real-world experience in the area being covered, especially when it comes to emergency preparedness. Much of the time, the people who are providing you with training or information on a particular topic have no direct experience with that concept, much less applying the concept on a day to day basis. Dr. Steven R. Daigle, JD, is an international speaker and published author on the topic of Active Violence. He has traveled the world teaching this topic to law enforcement agencies and corporations. After his retirement from a 27-year career in law enforcement Detective, Dr. Daigle founded Daigle Law Group and Tact Ops, LLC. The Company provides Active Violence training to law enforcement agencies, schools and corporations to mitigate losses and reduce the chances that employees and/or customers will be injured or killed.

We then develop customized program content for your review and consideration, prior to implementation. This consultation process ensures that the program we provide legitimately meets the needs of your agency and serves as a valuable use of the training resources you have allocated.
Client Testimonials
The transformative nature of the Daigle Law Group training program is well-documented. Here, in their own words, are a sampling of testimonials from law enforcement agencies that have experienced the growth and success that Daigle Law Group training brings: "The only thing more exciting than attending a Daigle Law Group Training Institute is when I get to see one of my officers take the podium at the end of the week to show what he or she learned from the course. Change is not easy, especially in law enforcement, but sometimes it takes only small changes to make a big difference. The training offered by the Daigle Law Group provides me with those small changes in many different areas of officer safety." – Chief of Police, Out-of-State Utility Company Police Agency "On behalf of the Arundel Police Shielding Committee, we wanted to thank you for the outstanding presentations you provided during our 2013 3rd Annual APD Officer Safety Forum. Your training session appropriately pointed out the need for improved risk management, especially in the area of stress management among police officers. The strategic integration of the material you covered was both effective and well received by the attendees. Although your training was not a member requirement, we had tremendously positive feedback from our members and other participants throughout the event. Any member who actually leaves for work and feels stronger in his or her employment as a result of attending your forum is a WIN in my book. We sincerely appreciate your participation and we look forward to seeing you again soon." – Police Shielding Committee, State of Maryland "I have attended a few of your conferences and will tell you they have made an enormous difference in the attitudes at our department. It has allowed me to bring a fresh approach to risk management. Your information gives us a new way to teach our officers who need help for stress related issues whether it is personal or recalling a traumatic event. Thank you for what you do." – Chief of Police, Out-of-State Law Enforcement Agency
Getting Started with Daigle Law Group Training
Agencies and Officers alike have options to sign up for the trainings provided by the Daigle Law Group, but the process differs slightly for each. Officers looking to get in on these valuable training opportunities can do it through their agency, or as an individual. After consulting with your supervisor, and securing approval from your chief or agency head to attend the training and submit a training request through the PRISM system, you are a step closer to attending the world-renowned training sessions provided by the Daigle Law Group. An individual officer can also discuss the possibility of self-funding the training with their supervisor. The officer would complete an individual waiver for the cost of the training. The agency would then use its normal process to pay for the individual to attend the training. You may contact whether the training is being handled by the agency or the officer directly for details on payment methods. If you are part of a law enforcement agency… it really is that simple! Perhaps the best part of the registration process is that the Daigle Law Group has already negotiated discounts with several hotels in the area of its training locations. Upon registering for a training event, you will be given a list of hotels, along with information on how to secure a hotel rate discount. Agencies and departments wanting to host a Daigle Law Group instructor can contact Daigle Law Group to discuss topics, possible locations, and the minimum number of participants required . The Daigle Law Group’s training programs are not all the same though. Specific training options can be discussed, and the topic options are extensive. Agencies, your people may want additional training options as well. Have them discuss the possibility of self-funding a training with you. They can pay fee through Daigle Law Group online. When fees are being covered by agencies, however, it is generally handled at the agency level using existing training procedures. While the Daigle Law Group does not determine the attendee cost, it does work hard to find discounted rates and manage costs. Ultimately, the training cost depends on various factors: the duration of the training, the location of the training, the number of attendees, and the particular training content being delivered. The cost for a 10-hour course can be as little as $90.00 if an agency is funding it. The cost for state training programs varies based on the length of the session as well. For full-day (8 hour) programs run through the state, the cost is $23.00. If the officer pays for themselves, the cost starts at around $2501 and is dictated by the time and venue. Multi-topic trainings can sometimes reduce the cost of attendance per session. Knowing how training will be funded and where the funds will be coming from helps us finalize the costs for the sessions your agency or your officer wants to attend.
