The article presents the author's first training experience as an agent instructor in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In the 1980s, the author was newly assigned to the training division at the FBI Academy. Due to an instructor shortage, he was sent to teach a one-week, train-the-trainer police school in New Jersey, mainly because he was available and he knew where New Jersey was located. The author was teamed up with one of the academy's best instructors, who could teach the entire week without ever breaking an academic sweat.
