CSO - C.E.E.P - Comprehensive Equipment Evaluation Program

U.S. C-SOG was the first group to develop the CSO - C.E.E.P program that is currently the model for a number of national and international prison systems.

This evaluation program has been designed to evaluate any program, product or technology within the corrections industry.  The CSO - C.E.E.P program was designed by our SOU Combat Quartermasters in order to give the SOU Operators the best equipment that meets the most demanding corrections/prison environments.  No other program in the world has a comprehensive prison combat evaluation program.  As a result of this program being implemented several major DOC and large county jails, have adopted this program.

The C.E.E.P program tests products in extreme corrections conditions by prison combat specialists.  Regardless of product or technology U.S. C-SOG can evaluate your company’s products.  All products that are selected for evaluation will undergo a 30-60 day evaluation with a comprehensive 5 - 25 page report along with video, digital photos and a product Operator C.E.E.P case number. Products that pass with a score of 8.5 or higher will receive an operator-approved number as well as a product press release mentioned on CorSpecOps.com.

Special Note

This product evaluation is not based on operator’s opinions and is not a scientific test.  This is a Prison/Corrections Combat test.  This evaluation is not a program in which we simply hand off to a few officers or operators and get their unsupported opinions. Your product will be tested in the environment that it has been designed for.  The product will be tested in a number of facility types, and operational environments. (DS, Linear, Traditional, Open Camp Settings, Detention Centers, Floating Detention Platforms, etc.)

I have been a tact team member for the past 19 years and this was one of the best classes I have been a part of.

The equipment and training was unlike anything our agency has experienced in the field of corrections.

I have been the Chief Instructor for the Correctional Emergency Response Teams for the past eight years and was very impressed with your ability to make the Special Operation Group Teams become trained as a highly skilled group, which with further training will be able to adapt and overcome any situation they are faced with.

STL Garcia proved to be a man of character and professionalism. His knowledge and proficiency in equipment, weapons, and tactics was displayed throughout the training session by his intense passion for his work.

Garcia was able to explain necessary techniques and procedures used in cell extraction in an easy to understand manner. I saw positive changes in myself as well as other classmates.

Between the training, sample policies, and equipment recommendations, our department's overall liability has been dramatically decreased. I would highly recommend C-SOG to facilities of any size for their Emergency Response Training.

Your valuable expertise and organizational skill led us to a deeper understanding of where we are now as a team and where we need to go from here.

You gave us insight on ways to make our team stronger, smarter and more tactically proficient.

Any person who deals with the possibility of barricaded subjects would do well to attend this training.

Each lesson was well-organized and the information provided was excellent. Your training has provided our Team with numerous additions to our arsenal of emergency tactics.

I have had the opportunity to recieve different types of training across the nation, and I feel very confident when I saw that Team Leader Garcia is one of the finest instructors I have observed.

Due to his extensive experience of working in Prison Less Lethal Operations I personally selected Senior Team Leader Joseph Garcia of US C-SOG to assist my team on a special project during October 2007. We are particularly aware of the emerging extremist threat within our establishments and have called upon STL Garcia to assit us in keeping ahead of the game in areas of Hostage rescue, riot and other high risk operations.

Mr. Garcia gives professional and direct demonstrations of his goals and missions relative to business and company direction, which allows the listener to evaluate and comprehend his subject matter during presentations.

In order to provide my staff the best possible training available in this area I commissioned a nationwide search for a company that had an impeccable track record with proven results. US C-SOG met the criteria for which I was searching.

Team Leader Garcia is a highly dynamic individual with an exceptional attitude. He has the ability to motivate even the laziest of officers and to give them a sense of duty to complete their assigned task.

Not only was the training informative, it was also diverse in that we can adapt the techniques learned to address any one of the many variables specialized units encounter in a correctional setting.

As a Trainer Mr. Garcia keeps his class lively and interesting and very informative with the right blend of cognitive and physical training.

Your personnel have inspired our team to strive to be the best.

All of the participants in the program were very impressed with your Team Building concepts and those elements you expressed necessary to create a cohesive team, capable of handling most any situation.

It is a rare occasion when officers attending in-service training uniformly praise a specific training course. However, based on the written evaluations and the personal conversations I have had with the officers who attended the Close Quarters course, I believe the course was one of the most successful courses of its type that we have presented in some time.

Our team has always taken training very seriously, but I feel that they will now step up to an even higher degree. They are truly the best only corrections training team that we have ever dealt with!

[STL Garcia's] "can do" attitude, along with his integrity, adds to the level of caliber this company already sets.

Your talents and knowledge in this field is unbelievable, and is certainly appreciated by the Minnesota SOG Team.

The information in your training and the knowledge you provided were both fascinating and very informative. Our only regret is that we didn't have more time to train with you.

I wold like to express my thanks to you for taking your time to present to SPEAR Force the overview of Correctional Special Operations. The discussion that we had and the professional guidance provided during the last few days are good learning experience for SPEAR Force.

STL Garcia brought a new sense of reality to our program and heightened our level of operations. Through his experience, impeccable instructor abilities and professionalism, the entire course was conducted in the safest manner and in the most outstanding fashion.

Mr. Garcia is one of the brightest, most research-oriented, motivated law enforecement professionals I have encountered in my 24 years of management.

On behalf of the Hudson County Department of Corrections Special Operations Group, I would like to thank you and your company for bringing my Department to the next level in Special Operations. We have become an elite force in the field of Corrections, and through your expertise and training; we have risen to one of the most comprehensive units in the state of New Jersey.

My team feels that they have now come away from your program with the added skills and confidence to be put to immediate use.

I know the officers who attended the seminar were very impressed with your depth of knowledge on gang related issues. The information you presented opened many people's eyes.

I have been to hundreds of hours of instruction and have taught well over 300 hours myself and none of it compares to the training we received.

Senior Team Leader Garcia helped SRT develop the first rapid-assault plan for Tent City. I recommend his training for any agency wishing to utilize state of the art corrections tactics, and look forward to future training with US C-SOG.

I know that the knowledge received will someday maybe save a life by raising the awareness of the officers.

Your professionalism and innovation had an immediate influence on our unit and your experience proved to be most valuable to our preparations in challenging the new threats posed by terrorism in prison facilities.

The Correctional Industry is in need of more professionals like yourself.

Emergency Response tactics and planning vary as much as each institution, agency state or branch of the federal government. The creation of an Emergency Response Team requires knowledge, dedication, heart, discipline and the ability to educate and elicit motivation. Mr. Garcia possesses all of these qualities.

He has proven indispensable to this department with his knowledge and expertise of firearms and impact weapons (specifically the FN 303) as well as all areas of the Use of Force.

In all our communications I found him to be a man of his word - if he said it would happen, it did!
