"I recently had the pleasure of attending the Homicide and Crime Scene class presented by retired detective David Newman, and I cannot recommend it enough. This course offered a comprehensive and engaging insight into the world of crime scene investigation, providing valuable knowledge and skills that any aspiring detective or investigator would find invaluable. Mr. Newman's extensive experience and expertise in the field of homicide investigations are indeed remarkable. He effortlessly managed to combine theoretical concepts with real-life case studies, making the learning experience both insightful and fascinating. His ability to draw upon his personal experiences and translate complex information into relatable scenarios truly sets him apart as an exceptional instructor. The class itself was well-structured, and Mr. Newman maintained a perfect balance between theory and practical exercises. He guided us through the entire process of conducting a thorough crime scene investigation, from securing the area to gathering evidence and analyzing it meticulously. His hands-on approach enabled us to apply the knowledge we gained, enhancing our understanding and building our confidence in handling any future crime scene scenarios. Furthermore, the course materials and resources provided were comprehensive and well-curated. Mr. Newman shared a wealth of reference materials, and case studies, equipping us with all the necessary tools to further explore and deepen our understanding of the subject matter. Overall, attending Inside the Tape's, Homicide and Crime Scene class presented by retired detective David Newman was an enriching and rewarding experience. I left the course with a newfound appreciation for the intricacies of crime scene investigations and a heightened sense of confidence in my abilities. I wholeheartedly recommend this class for any law enforcement officer who wants to add more tools to their professional tool box."

“Hi- I would like to say thank you again for the lecture. I found it very informative, well organized, and pleasurable. This, by far, was one of my favorite training I have ever attended. I really liked that you discussed several cases and you always started by sharing the call to dispatch. Your experience and knowledge showed. So, what I am trying to says is…YOU NAILED IT! Thanks and maybe I can attend another of your trainings in the future.”

“Thank you for the material. I just wanted to say thank you again. As it turned out, less than two weeks after your class, we had a double homicide. The suspect had been stalking the victim, assaulted her in her home, then removed/disabled all the smoke detectors then set the house on fire, killing the 8 year old sleeping upstairs. It was a very dynamic scene, as most of it was damaged by fire, smoke, water, and the victims had been removed from the house by fire fighters. I found myself referring to my notes from your course quite a bit. We had our suspect in the interview room on day 1, and in custody on day 3. Thanks again for doing what you do!”

"Just wanted to pass on to you how great this your class was. The Investigators from the Churchill County Sheriff's Office all agreed this was by far one of the best training classes we have been to in 'forever.' Your materials and visual aids were very informative and well organized. We especially appreciated how knowledgeable you were of everything you talked about. Again we can't say enough great things about this training. Thanks."

"Gayle, I just wanted to write you to highly recommend David Newman (Ret) and his courses. I personally attended his Homicide Investigation course in 2006 when I was a Homicide Investigator. In 2010, I took over our department's Professional Development Institute (www.stpaul.gov/PDI ). This is a business that is operated out of our Training Unit in the Police Department. We provide a plethora of training and then market it to outside Agencies. Since taking over the Institute, I have hosted David a minimum of 2 times each year; Homicide Investigation and Homicide Scene Management for Patrol. Both courses fill consistently. The evaluations from both course always reflect an 'Excellent' rating average. David is extremely accommodating and easy to work with. In short, he is a gifted instructor and a great advocate in a business administrative role."

"I spoke with the other two investigators from our office that attended your class in TN last year, and collectively we've agreed it was one of the best if not the best we've attended, and we are going to incorporate a lot of the techniques and procedures that were reviewed. I personally have been pushing for a more formal victimology, which is something I brought back from a deviant behavior/rape class, and I was glad to have it reinforced in a homicide class. If in the interim you need anything around this area, please don't hesitate to call/email."

David, I love this training. I wish it was even longer, or in classroom! Thanks for your dedication to this. It is truly remarkable the case studies you have brought into this! I have been in this field of work for approximately 15 years, but mostly just as Patrol (and trainer in SWAT, Firearms, and DT). I thought those were my only interests, but new promotion to detective, this type of training definitely intrigues my upmost attention. Thanks again for what you do, David. It’s worth your time, in case you did not already know that! Stay Safe Always,

"Mr. Newman, I want to thank you for bringing your vast experience to Reno. It was a great class, so much information that I ended up taking 6 pages of notes. I do want to apologize for jumping out early on Friday. My detective and I had a case pop up in Winnemucca that needed eyes on. Anyways thank you again and I look forward to your next class."

“Dave, I had to leave early Thursday, but I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your class this week. Always great to learn from someone with the knowledge and experience you have. We already had a homicide Thursday around noon, so it was great putting your class to the test. Thanks again, and stay safe.”

"Just to tell you, I have had about six other homicide classes, but I learned more from this one than all the others combined. Thank you. I look forward to your next class."
