David Lyons is a great instructor that is very knowledgeable and caring. Mr Lyons pressed us to be part of the discussions and the stories that he added kept the class tuned in. He is definitely one of the best instructors that I have encountered in my 26 years of law enforcement. I look forward to attending another one of his classes in the future. FBI LEEDA is extremely lucky to have David Lyons on staff.
