Email from a Modesto PD police Officer
Fernando, after taking your Tracking class I,
as well as several other officers in my Department that took
the class, have used tracking as a valuable tool on numerous
occasions with great success. In the beginning most other officers
did not believe in what we were doing and thought that if visual
tracking had any place in Law Enforcement it would only be used
in a rural County environment and not inside the City where we work.
After numerous successful tracks we were able to change opinions and
we are now being requested to conduct tracks on a regular basis and
recently have been working alongside our k9 handlers as a team.
I personally have successfully used tracking in two homicide cases,
several burglaries, one felony assault, and numerous leg bails from stops.
These are just the cases I can think of off the top of my head.

I am an ex special forces and I took a tactical tracking
class in Malaysia in 1998 and I believe that the Malaysia
school was one of the best schools around the world until
I met Fernando. Fernando is very talented and very professional
and an expert in tracking. I do believe that Fernando expertize
and talent should be taught to all law enforcement officers
around the country.

I Have attended F.B.I, academy so I know the Quality a
training when I received it. Fernando’s tracking course
far exceeds expectations. I have attended another tracking
class and the professionalism of Fernando’s training is head
and shoulders above the competition. I would like to recommend
Fernando’s tracking course to all Law enforcement agencies.

Email from Vancouver WA Police Dept
Fernando,
I needed to let you know about a successful track
done by two of our officers. A burglary call was received
that involved a suspect who had entered the bedroom
of a young girl and had started to molest her. She screamed
and the suspect fled. When Patrol units arrived (including a
K-9 unit), containment was set and a search was conducted.
Unfortunately, the suspect was not found.
The next day, R.O. heard about the call at line-up and went
to the scene "just to take a look." He thought he found sign
and called J.M. to see if he was right. J.M. showed-up, agreed
and together they tracked the suspect to a house. They
talked their way into the house, identified a suspect and
subsequent interviews revealed this guy to be a serial burglar
with sexual motivation.
Granted, these officers showed a lot of initiative, but without
the tracking skills they obtained in your classes this case
would have gone nowhere.
So, in addition to this case, we've now successfully tracked
other burglary suspects, robbery suspects and a number of
suspects who have fled from traffic stops.
I recommend your classes to all law
agencies across the US.
Thank you.

Fernando, how are you,
Last week we (MAVMIT) had information on a possible marijuana grow deep
up a canyon in Yolo county. We set off on patrol and approximately 1/2 mile
up began seeing footprints, broken branches and moss displaced from rocks
( everything you taught us).
We continued to track the prints for another very difficult (rugged) mile which
led us in to a large grow site. We assaulted the camp under surprise and arrested
two armed suspects and seized thousands of marijuana plants.
Your training really paid off on our first patrol.
I attached a team picture with the two suspects seated in front.
Thank you so much for everything and I recommend your training
to all law enforcement agencies take care and stay in touch.
