  • Each day you must complete daily evaluation questions that will be provided to you via a QR code at the end of the presentation. This is required by the Oregon Department of Justice. These questions verify your attendance and assess for knowledge retention. This helps our trainers identify areas for more instruction, so please be sure to include any comments and questions you would like our team to know.
