Dr. Sampson has assisted this department in Fitness for Duty evaluations of police officers. The Law Enforcement community throughout Georgia and the entire United States holds Dr. Sampson in high regard. I can unequivocally vouch for his character and his integrity.
Steve is one of the most versatile scholars in the field of criminology and psychology. As a result he offers one of the most balanced, realistic and informed perspectives on human interaction skills I have ever seen.
Dr. Sampson has been so many things to many people in law enforcement. His extraordinary insight into what we do is remarkable. In the 25 years I have known him, he has demonstrated an enormous capacity to be at the right place at the right time; from helping us with a troubled officer, to consoling and guiding us through the tough times associated with the death of an officer. Each time I have called on him, he dropped what he was doing and was there for us…. His sustained honesty and undying desire to associate with law
enforcement officers for nearly four decades gives him a unique perspective in helping us solve problems for our agency and the community.

The outcome of the training was so profound that the use of force incidents, grievances and litigation are all down since the training. The training was outstanding.
