The best dough I ever spent where was this guy 3 years ago when I was studying for sergeant:thumbup:

Hanrahan Consulting is owned and operated by Justin Hanrahan. Justin is a police lieutenant for a mid-sized police department in the greater Boston area. Justin used a technique of memorization used by many scholars and students throughout the world to master the promotional material - the flash card memorization method. Millions of students have used flash cards to quickly and easily memorize large amounts of data in a short period of time. Law students, medical students, and students learning foreign languages have successfully used flash cards to learn difficult material.

Justin used flash cards to master the textbook material for the police promotional exam and was promoted to sergeant at the age of 26 and lieutenant at the age 28. Using the flash card method Justin has never scored below a 90% on the written exam. Justin began helping co-workers and friends in law enforcement prepare for the promotional exam informally several years ago.

The problem with the flash card method is that it takes hundreds of precious hours to break the material into flash card format. Justin decided to do the work for his students and mass produce them, saving them hundreds of hours in study time.

Justin has been teaching police officers and police supervisors for many years in the area of critical incident management and policy development. Justin enjoys teaching police officers and is dedicated to improving law enforcement in the Commonwealth.

Justin is currently working on completing his law degree and plans on focusing his efforts on training law enforcement officers in the area of management and supervision, policy development, and critical incident management. Justin continues to serve the citizens of Massachusetts as a police officer and he continues to take promotional exams and improve his exam taking skills passing it on to his students.

Hanrahan Consulting also uses a variety of input from numerous police officers in the greater Boston area to keeps its material up to date and unique.

For 16 years now, I have devoted my professional life to helping police officers of every rank by providing them with the tools they need to get promoted so that they are better able to provide for themselves and their families. To date, I have helped over 900 of you move up in the ranks. Some of you are now Chiefs of Police. I am extremely proud of this work and of the many fine, brave police officers with whom I have had the privilege of working.



Yet, recently, it has come to my attention that certain individuals on this website have been maliciously spreading completely false rumors about me in an effort to undermine my work.



Unlike these individuals, who hide behind names like "Irish cop" and "StickPinQuinn," I have nothing to hide and choose to respond in the open. My name is John Scheft and, as many of you already know, I am the owner of Law Enforcement Dimensions and a lawyer. Many of you have been students of mine. After all, if you need to know the law to pass a promotional exam, doesn't it make more sense to go to a lawyer to learn that law than a carpenter or anyone else not trained in the law?



These rumormongers (who don't even have the courage to identify themselves) would have you believe that I would steal from Justin Hanrahan, a member of the Watertown PD who, ironically, has taken my courses to get promoted! These insinuations are false. To further inflame you, they have tried to play on prejudice by casting their malicious gossip as a case of a "lawyer" versus a "cop". In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.



I have worked with Justin and his department in the past, and I know that Justin is working hard to complete his law school education, so it would be silly for him to criticize me for being a lawyer when that is what he aspires to become. I believe that the Justin I know is much too ethical to engage in such mean-spirited attacks and surely understands, through his legal training, that making false statements about someone in an effort to hold them up to public ridicule is unlawful defamation. He also knows that defaming someone in order to gain a competitive advantage over them is considered an unfair method of competition under the Massachusetts Unfair Business Practices Law.



The simple truth is that Justin Hanrahan and I met on two occasions in March of this year to discuss the possibility of his working with Law Enforcement Dimensions to distribute a line of flash cards which he and his wife have worked very hard on. Both times we met, we were alone. Although unable to reach agreement on terms for working together, Justin sent me the following email reply at 12:44 PM on March 14:



Hi John,



Sorry I didn't get back to you right away…I was in meetings all morning. Thank you for the opportunity. I sincerely hope that nothing that I offer in regards to promotion preparation interferes with the success of your business. I hope we some day have the opportunity to work together. Thanks again.

Justin, I called the other day and left a message and, after our extensive meetings, I wanted to be sure and close the loop with you. So I figured, at this point, I'd try e-mail.



Based on our conversations and my discussion with my attorney about the practicality of your latest proposal, I decided in the end that it was best for us to just go our separate ways. I think you have a good product, and I wish you luck. Thanks again for meeting with me and considering the various options we explored.



Take care, John

So much for any "reliable source," the rumormongers claim to be hearing from.



Justin is selling his flash cards and I am not. I do not sell flash cards. Instead of flash cards, I decided that in this Internet age, it is much more efficient and much easier for you, as students, to use computers and the Internet for training. After all, the computer never gets tired presenting material and it is so much better at shuffling. I give you more questions on the computer than you get in a box of flashcards, and I have the ability to add more questions to the computer database during exam season for my course participants. I invite anyone to check my web site at www.ledimensions.com. You will not find any reference to flash cards.



As I said earlier, I met with Justin Hanrahan in March of this year. Isn't it interesting that nobody ever heard of "Irish cop" or "StickPinQuinn" on the Masscops website until April of this year? Coincidence? You decide.



Even now, I face the same dilemma faced by every victim of defamation: If you remain silent, some might believe the lies but, if you respond, you give the liars more credibility than they deserve and a stage on which to continue to spread their lies.



For me, the deciding point was a matter of professional reputation. I take pride in the fact that the materials that I provide to officers have a well-deserved reputation for accuracy. However, not content to just lie about my relationship with Justin Hanrahan, StickPinQuinn has falsely stated on this site that I wrote and taught that you report stolen firearms to the Colonel of the State Police rather than the Criminal History Systems Board. That lie undermines my reputation for quality work, which I have devoted years of effort to establishing and maintaining. Those of you who have actually taken my courses already know that this claim is completely false. Just look at page 17-9 of my Criminal Law Station Guide 2006:



Duty to Report Any Loss, Theft or Recovery of Any Gun. G.L. c. 140, § 129C mandates that any loss, theft or recovery of any firearm, rifle, shotgun, or machine gun be reported "forthwith" (i.e., immediately) to the director of the Criminal History Systems Board (CHSB) and the licensing authority. Failure to report shall result in suspension or permanent revocation of the person's license and, for a 1st offense: Fine NLT $200, NMT $1,000; for a 2nd offense: Fine NLT $1,000, NMT $5,000.



Of course, since StickPinQuinn has not had the guts to identify himself, I have no way of knowing if he was ever a student in any of my courses or bought any of my materials. So, StickPinQuinn, if you want to call me and identify yourself, I will be happy to show you all of my promotional materials over the years. But I don't expect to hear from you. The kind of person who would anonymously spread lies on a website is the same kind of person who will continue to lie about their instructor to cover up their own failure on a promotional exam.



Frankly, I would prefer to let the matter end here. But rest assured that if the lies continue, it will leave me no choice but to seek relief in the courts to protect me and my business. Through the courts, I will be able to obtain the identities of "Irish cop" and "StickPinQuinn," and if the court determines that they have defamed me in order to gain an unfair competitive advantage for Justin Hanrahan, they could find themselves liable for punitive damages, attorneys fees and costs. In addition, a court proceeding will expose their unlawful actions.



To the rest of the police officers out there: whether you use my materials or anyone else's, I wish you the best. I provide the best service I can, and you'll never hear me badmouth or whine about the competition!

Hey, I was just reading the old posts is it true that Scheft is planning on ripping off Hanrahan's idea? I checked Scheft's website and didn't see anything.
