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!​

 

  • Email if you'd like help finding grant opportunities to support your education and/or our consulting services
