(Jermaine) really opened my eyes and taught me a lot to bring back to my community and my work. I was happy to gain this knowledge to bring back also to the younger generation now being exposed to these things at such a young age.

Speaking on behalf of the Oregon School Resource Officers Association, Jermaine is one of the few keynotes we have had present at our annual conference multiple times. We will be inviting him back again. He and his presentation are just that good.

Mike Jackson

President

Oregon School Resource Officers Association

We are always fortunate when we are able to slate Officer Jermaine Galloway as a speaker at one of our conferences. Officer Galloway is not only an exemplary presenter, but he takes the time to research local drug and alcohol trends in the jurisdiction where he is speaking to truly give his audience a relevant and worthwhile experience. He has a rare talent for identifying issues that are not immediately obvious such as drug-related code words and illicit drugs disguised as legal commercial products.

After your presentation a couple weeks ago I have become more aware of what caseload of probationers are wearing. Just the beginning of this week a new probationer came in, admitted to smoking weed prior to sentencing, so that was my first flag. But was also wearing a sweatshirt that had “TrapLord” on it. I googled it later and found the urban dictionary term being consistent with being a “weed dealer”. Again, without the training you provided for us just a couple weeks ago I am not sure I would have even caught that. Thanks.

Officer Galloway is a gifted presenter with obvious passion for his subject. There is nothing more engaging than listening to someone who speaks from a wealth of experience in something they feel strongly about.

Living and working far away from urban centers, it is easy to believe “we don’t have a problem here.” Jermaine Galloway peels back the façade to demonstrate that the drug and alcohol culture in rural America is real and flourishing, with the means to purchase, create and disseminate dangerous substances only an Internet-click away.

First of all, I want to thank Jermaine for the best training I’ve ever had. I attended in Michigan. I have been with the MDOC for 21 years and by far the best training and information I have ever received. Thank you to him for his time and what he does. I am recommending him to everyone!

In the global festivals and events industry and the rapidly changing world in which we must operate, there is no shortage of risk management challenges to keep those attending our events safe, secure and healthy. To do that, the professionals in our field need access to experts who can shorten our learning curves and advise us on best practices in addressing those challenges. In the critical area of alcohol and substance abuse, Jermaine Gallloway provides the IFEA and those we serve with up-to-date information, education, resource recommendations and training support, all presented in a manner that makes a very large topic both approachable and actionable. Jermaine's firsthand career experience and passion for helping others to recognize and minimize the negative impacts of alcohol and substance abuse, provides those in our industry with an invaluable asset. It is a partnership that we look forward to continuing.

Relevant. Current. Real-world application. Jermaine Galloway’s presentation exceeds expectations. Using practical and riveting presenting skills, Jermaine captivates his audience and has a tremendous impact on the total learning experience. He is a dynamic speaker who will enhance any event to which he is invited.

Sublette County is a small rural, ag and energy based community in Wyoming. Many of the issues that face us today in prevention are the things we are not willing to open our eyes to. When Officer Galloway first came to our community and spoke, he provided the information we desperately needed to learn about. When you live in a small community, there can be things we are unwilling to recognize. Officer Galloway's presentation is exactly what every small town needs to hear. Currently, the marijuana epidemic is on a far larger scale than we are willing to admit. I have attended many seminars, webinars, conferences and trainings but Officer Galloway has a fantastic ability to speak to his audience and make it educational and engaging. He can speak to key stakeholders, or adapt his presentation to your community and parents to fit the needs of his audience. The grassroots efforts that communities are making and the education that Officer Galloway can provide are exactly what we need to keep ahead of the trends of drugs and alcohol with our youth.

Officer Galloway's class/instruction should be a requirement for all police officers as part of their annual in-service training. It should also be a required course for all parents of school age children. "You can't stop what you don't know" is true.

When I was volunteered for this class, I will be honest I wasn't thrilled about it. Based on the title of the course it sounded like training on how to identify someone under the influence.

Jermaine, I have attended one of your in person workshops and viewed several webinars this summer. I just found out that (a relative) was arrested for drug possession and they found a gun.
