Children & spouses of law enforcement officers killed in action.
I wish I had time to help any student pursuing advanced degrees to serve the justice system, but I do not.
Our Services
Everyone's project is distinct, and each scholars' strengths and challenges are different. The services we offer are tailored to what you need -- no more and no less. Whether that is data management, statistical analyses and code checks, crafting the front end, or planning a defense (or all the above) -- help is here. You can ask for the specific kind of guidance you want, and only pay for what you need.
​
I am not expert in every topic or method. If I cannot address your topic or technical needs with complete confidence, I will tell you so and you will not be charged. (I'll also do my best to find an expert who you can contact to ask for assistance.)

Sound expensive?
It shouldn't
Time is money

This is far less than a semester of tuition. And, the average salary increase for a graduate degree in policing is 7%. If hiring help gets you through your program faster, you are saving a fortune on tuition and otherwise-lost income.
