Cop Talk
I attended the Emergency Narcotics Operation course and was highly impressed. The instructors were highly knowledgeable and helpful. I have learned so much, and learned that all I was doing wrong. All the instructors were great at teaching and critiquing. I would recommend this course to anyone who works narcotics, a must for narcotics agents/detectives.

Emergency Narcotics
This is my first time at RCTA. From the moment I reached the Gate until the moment I left, I was blown away. Everyone I met at the base and in the school were very gracious and friendly. The room was fantastic. The base was immaculate. The food at the Galley was great. I had the best time, and could relax as well as gain some great information in the classes. The instructors were knowledgeable, fun, and motivating. There literally was not one thing about my experience there that I didn't just love. I cannot Wait to return for more!!
