New CLEAT Partnership Teaches Officers “How to Win!”

“Survival is just the beginning…we train you to WIN!”, is the theme of a new partnership with Dave Smith and Associates (DSA). Dave and Betsy Smith are internationally known law enforcement experts and instructors. Dave Smith, known for the “JD Buck Savage” video training series, his work as the director of education for the Law Enforcement Television Network [LETN], and as the general manager and senior instructor for Calibre Press and the “Street Survival” seminar, has been teaching his signature class, “The Winning Mind”, internationally since 1987.

With the Praetorian Group’s sale of Calibre Press, Smith will no longer be teaching the “Street Survival” seminar and will be focusing on expanding the “Winning Mind” series. “We’re training people to win and winning goes beyond gunfights and confrontations,” says Smith. “We want you to win the entire event.
