Happy Boss Day, Mr. Lewis!

October 16, 2018 Julianne

I’m Giulianna, one of the assistants as LCI Services.

Today, is Boss’s Day in the United States. It seems like as fitting of a time as any to thank Mr. Lewis for being an exceptional boss! Those of us who are blessed to work Mr. Lewis know that he is a boss with integrity.

He encourages each of us to be our best. He leads by example. And he has more energy than a room full of toddlers after eating cookies.

Sometimes he’s tough. Sometimes he has to correct us. Sometimes he asks us to go out of our comfort zones. I suppose for the others who are/were cops this is nothing new, but for me…let’s just say, it is shaping me.

I doubt anybody really knows how much work Mr. Lewis puts into this company. I would venture to guess that about 350 days a year he works to make LCI Services a success. He is often working from sun-up to late at night, with an occasional nap (you’re allowed to get away with that after you turn fifty).

Why does he work so hard when he’s already a successful boss?

Because he doesn’t believe mediocre is good enough. He genuinely loves what he does and wants to make sure every attendee is getting the best training. His passion is evident in the classroom/field when he’s instructing and role-playing. He believes in always giving 100%.

So what does he do those other 15 days?

He’s hiking or painting. I don’t think he knows how to sit still, except when his age periodically forces him to slow down for a day or two.

Mr. Lewis, we are grateful for your dedication and leadership.
May you have a very Happy Boss Day!

From all of us at LCI Services

Awesome Trip to Medford, OR Region

March 27, 2018 Julianne

Thank you, Oregon State Police!

Earlier this month, we had the privilege of training in Central Point, OR at the Oregon State Police station. We are very grateful to those who arranged this and made it possible.

This was our first training in the Medford region and we had a wonderful time with the law enforcement professionals who attended.

This truly was a great bunch of guys and they performed very well as a team during Rolling Surveillance field exercises.

It was our pleasure when many of them came up at the end and shook our hands and thanked us for bringing this class to them. We hope to be back soon!

In Addition to Law Enforcement Training

It was a lovely drive to and from this Rolling Surveillance class.

Oregon is full of breathtaking scenery.

Many streets were lined with flowering trees and in the background, the mountains were all capped with snow. The ornamental cherry trees were all in blossom, as were many pear trees.

We also were able to taste test and buy some of the best cheese, mead, honey, and pears while visiting Oregon.

Sweeping for Tracking Devices

December 11, 2017 Julianne

In our law enforcement training classes we teach that suspects often exhibit behavior consistent with counter-surveillance techniques or technical surveillance countermeasures, such as using debuggers to sweep for trackers or electronic eavesdropping devices. This being only one of many counter-surveillance techniques, but one we must prepare for during surveillance.

On the Discovery Channel’s Moonshiner’s series, we see this in action. This video will turn right side up when started. 🙂

As previous students know, one cannot beat Tim’s enthusiasm, passion, knowledge, and hands-on training style in these courses.

Our hands-on (both classroom and field training) courses for the upcoming year include:

Rolling Surveillance, which is also known as physical or mobile surveillance.
Rolling Surveillance II, our advanced foot surveillance.
