A review of Operational Skills Group LLC. (OSG)

A review of Operational Skills Group LLC. (OSG)
http://www.opskillsgroup.com/





Let me begin by saying that I only recommend the best...and I only work with the best.

Bob Ingersoll is the CEO of OSG.  I have known Bob for almost 20 years now.  We met while I was going through Language training at the Defense Language Institute before I began a 2 year counter intelligence stint in Turkey.  When I met Bob he was teaching Combat Hapkido at a small Tae Kwon Do school I was attending.  I convinced him to pursue teaching at the base in Monterey, and the rest, as they say is history.  After about a year of training with Bob he awarded me my Black Belt in Combat Hapkido, and he presented me with  a charter to open my own school which I did in Turkey.  I soon became the Regional Director for Combat Hapkido in Turkey, but that is another story for another review. Let's get back to OSG.

Bob was honorably discharged in 1977 after serving six years during the Viet Nam era, with the 382d Military Police Detachment, United States Army Reserve. Thereafter he began a successful career in civilian Law Enforcement resulting in over 20 years of hands-on experience in the areas of professional law enforcement, Tactical Training and Loss Prevention. Bob’s prior assignments have included Patrol, Field Training, Investigator, Narcotics Investigator, Emergency Response Team Supervisor, and Range master. So Bob is well versed in what works in REAL situations too.  I think that is why I was so happy training with him.


Currently retired from the Seaside Police Department in California, Bob today provides high-profile security force training to the US Government as a federal contractor and holds a degree in Administrative Justice.
Additionally, Bob is a California State Registered Private Investigator and Security Consultant. He has investigated both criminal and non-criminal cases to include, employee theft, insurance fraud, and pre-employment background investigations.

As the Founder and Director of Combative Arts Association and currently holding the rank of 6th Degree Black Belt in Hapkido Bob is very well versed in the martial arts and in reality based self-defense.  Oh, like me he is also a certified firearms and defensive tactics instructor.
In March 2005, Ingersoll returned to the law enforcement community as a Police Reserve for the City of Del Rey Oaks, CA PD.  His assignments include defensive tactics instructor, Investigations, and a member of the Special Response Team (SRT).

So Bob is a true operator.  His corporation socialized in teaching integrated modular programs of instruction specific to military, law enforcement, and federal officer training (uniformed officers, specialty agents, high-profile security, covert, and overseas operations) in support of such requirements as Force Protection, Crisis Response, Counter Abduction (Kidnap Prevention), Personal Safety and Defense, Opposed Boarding, Firearms, Advanced Marksmanship, Close Quarters Combat, and Active Counter Measures.  His program includes instruction in:

1
› Small Arms Instruction
SAI
2
› Defensive Tactics Instruction
DTI
3
› Prisoner Control Instruction
PCI
4
› Flight Deck Officer Instruction
FDI
5
› Tactical Medical Instruction
TMI
6
› Custom Program Instruction
CPI
7
› Work for Others Program
WFO


Unfortunately, Bob does not train civilians.  But if you are in Law Enforcement, Security, or Military you can get bob to come share his great courses with you.  Oh, and by the way, I am a little biased I must admit because I am one of Bob's instructors.
