We can also do a one day seminar with Ken and Jimmy

Jimmy calls Ken an "elite trainer." Ken is the founder of AGAPE Tactical. He spent twenty-six years serving as a police officer with the Metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee Police. He graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 1991, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science.

Ken began his law enforcement career as a patrol officer and then was appointed to the Metro Nashville Police Academy as a confrontation management and firearms instructor.

Ken was selected to serve on the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force. 

He concluded his career as a Field Training Officer (FTO) where he had the opportunity to supervise and train new police officers on how to apply their academy knowledge to real-life situations on the street.

Since 1998, Ken has taught active killer response, personal protection, handgun carry permit, and advanced handgun, rifle and shotgun classes to private citizens.

He specializes in helping schools, businesses and religious organizations develop plans for providing a safe learning, working and worshiping environment for their employees, members and guests. 

Ken has trained numerous church safety/security teams around the country.

In March of 2023, a female entered a Church School in Nashville, TN and shot and killed three adults and three children. The police responded, and in about 11 minutes, they had confronted the killer and fatally wounded her.

A local news station in Nashville, knowing that Ken was an expert in such matters, interviewed him. 

It has been said of Jimmy's presentation that "There has never been a stronger call to action."

Jimmy is a retired police officer, having served 35 years in law enforcement. He has also been a minister for over 53 years. During his police career, he also spent 12 years pastoring a church.

He has conducted almost 500 church safety seminars across the country. 

As an officer, he served as a hostage negotiator, field training officer, school resource officer, detective, supervisor, and crime prevention officer. He has accumulated over 4500 hours of TCOLE training. He was also a certified crime prevention specialist.

He has a B.A. in Religion from Oklahoma Baptist University and a Certificate of Ministry from Emmaus Road Ministry School. 

Jimmy has also served as a "missionary" to police officers, visiting departments across the nation, encouraging the officers. He has "shown up" at roll calls across the nation (Chicago, Spokane, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, and many others). He's often the guest speaker at Law Enforcement Appreciation Day services held in churches nationwide. He always shares the same message: The Heart of the Father.
