Class was excellent and met all of our expectations."  -   Brian Balega, President, Alaska Association of Fire Arson Investigators

 

"I have known Mr.  Jones since 2008 when he was employed as an investigative paralegal for the U.S. Army, and later a photographer for the U.S. Air Force, where he attended classes that I instructed and assisted in at the State of Alaska Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory.  Mr. Jones and I have remained in professonal contact over the years since that training I have always found him to be of sound character, professional, and very involved in the practice and techniques of photography.  His resume reflects the extensive training and experience he has had through the Army, Air Force, and other agencies including the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA." - Lesley Hammer, President, International Association for Identification

The photos Percy provided have been used in briefings to leaders preparing for their upcoming training and course event, the photos give leaders clarity of what their Soldiers will encounter during training, his support has been invaluable."  -  Robert Smith, Training Leader at Leidos
