Delivering critical information that’s engaging and refreshing.

DR. GRANT MCDOUGALL

Consistent. Engaging. Informative.

Dr. McDougall is a repeat speaker at the largest of first responder conferences such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriffs’ Association.  There is a reason he continues to be invited back year after year.  He understands the diversity of topics within that realm and is constantly educating himself and others on the ever-changing topics and dynamics within that field.  Today, perhaps more than ever, agencies, administrators, and front-line personnel are faced with challenges and stressors; many that are new and unique.  Dr. McDougall has spoken on the most pressing and critical issues and continues to expand his repertoire.  He understands that conferences and organizations must focus not only on finding experts on the topics on which they speak, but also to provide useful information to the audience in an engaging and entertaining way.
