Louis M. / Federal Law Enforcement Investigator
His focus is on building tactical thinkers – not just giving people scripts, but helping them use time, distance, shielding, and sound judgment to manage real-world, emotionally charged situations safely. I’ve worked with Eric on complex, high-risk cases and have seen how he stays calm, breaks things down clearly, and gives practical tools people can actually use in the field and in the workplace.
If your department or organization is looking to strengthen how it handles crisis, conflict, or potential violence, I’d strongly recommend taking a look at his expertise.
Daniel N. / Police Captain
With nearly 20 years of experience as a police officer, Eric brings a depth of real-world perspective that cannot be replicated in a classroom alone. Throughout his law enforcement career, Eric demonstrated sound judgment, professionalism, and a deep understanding of human behavior under stress.

Jason G. / Security & Compliance – Texas Instruments
I have a significant background in law enforcement, executive protection, and corporate security leadership. I recently participated in Eric’s church service disruption and security response training and found it highly valuable. The training was practical, realistic, and focused on real-world decision-making. Eric effectively translates threat recognition, behavioral indicators, communication, and disciplined response under stress into clear, actionable guidance that applies well beyond a church environment to any public-facing or high-occupancy setting. Eric brings a calm, professional, and highly credible presence to his instruction. I’d recommend Eric and Tac-D Solutions to any organization seeking well-structured, realistic security and response training.
Gretchen A. / Police Captain
I met Eric at a training event covering Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO), which he was also attending. At the time, I was developing a new unit within our agency focused on responding to individuals experiencing mental health disabilities, as well as drug and alcohol addictions. During a break, I introduced myself and we began talking. I had a lot of questions.
What struck me immediately was his willingness to share information, offer guidance, and help me think through the challenges we were facing. It became clear very quickly that he was a subject matter expert—especially when it came to providing practical, safe, and compassionate solutions to incidents involving individuals in crisis. His depth of knowledge, combined with his openness and genuine desire to support another agency, made a lasting impression on me. Over the years, I continued to reach out to him for assistance. Crisis incidents are extremely challenging and risky, and his expertise consistently helped me navigate them with greater clarity and confidence.
