An update here.
So far, the course is going really well. Royce is such a great teacher, and so smooth with everything he does. He has an assistant with him as well, Mark Baumeister, and he is a great guy as well, and has been very helpful with me so far.
Both guys are just so cool, mellow, and easy-going. They are both very approachable, and always helpful, always positive. Royce is really big on giving us lots of reps, lots of review, and going in slow motion as we train. He also has us talk our way through the techniques while doing them, which is great for memory retention, and great prep for teaching this stuff later on.
Royce has been teaching us the techniques a bit at a time, moving from the setups to the submissions, and then adding in the movements into cuffing techniques after compliance has been gained.
This course has been an awesome experience, and I'll remember this forever. Royce has been cool enough to pose for a few pictures with me, as well as Mark, and Royce also signed one of his books I've had for quite some time.
For those of you looking into some info of the techniques we've been working on, I've been updating that in The Martial Artists' Training Log thread in the Health, Training, and Fitness forum.

Anytime, Patrick. It was a fantastic time, and the work was pretty hard. We did so many reps. It will definitely be one of my best MA memories.
Royce was big on doing things in slow motion, and talking our way through the movements. We would talk through it as the officer, then some times we would talk the other guy through the moves, and sometimes we would stand on the outside and talk others through it. We did punching defenses, gun retention, and of course the ground stuff, either in positions of control, or in case we as LEOs ended up in a bad position, in order to improve our position, and regain control.
Royce was very mellow, and a very nice guy. He posed for a few pictures with me, signed a book for me, and even choked me out once, for "court purposes."
I learned so much, and even learned something about how skilled the BJJers out there are, even at what other arts would call "low ranked" levels. There is so much to it. I made some great contacts as well, some guys I can contact in regards to any technical questions I might have.
Now, to start getting some mat time in. I'm going to continue studying the manual he gave us, read through it and refresh, and hopefully start providing some classes for the department soon.
I can't wait to go renew in a year.

A controlled night night, I might add. Didn't complete it for good reasons.
Were you the only one from your department to attend?
Thanks for the pics/video!!
