When to ask for help
Are you having fun?
-
You should be filled with excitement and pride in your project. If not, let's figure out what's going wrong and set things back on track.
Will help save you time & money?
-
Relative value. Will consulting get you finished faster? If so, compare the price of consulting to the value of:​​
-
Avoided tuition​ if you finish sooner
-
Earlier access to workplace impacts (promotion/raise?)
-
Quicker return to normalcy for you, your family, & your agency
-
​
-
Grants. There are a variety of federal, state, and private sector grants for law enforcement professionals seeking higher education. Many of these can be used for consulting services like those offered here -- consider applying!​
