It was extremely engaging for us, and we got answers to questions, in regards to the criminal justice system, which we were always curious about. He is a great speaker, and he has an abundance of experience that makes him an ideal speaker for universities and colleges!

  • We had Dr.Piccolo come speak at our club meeting here at the University of Arizona via zoom. Being the VP of my club, I reached out to Dr.Piccolo and he was more cooperative than any other guest speaker I had come across. He was on time and thorough with his answers when our members would ask him questions. When we would have low questions to ask he would be sociable to our members! Overall, Dr.Piccolo was greatly supportive and cooperative within the meeting and leading up to it. His experience, energy, and social interactions made him the best guest speaker we had so far! I would recommend him to any clubs or organizations looking for someone to be a guest speaker at their meeting! 10/10!

  • Through multiple collaborations, Jason has proven himself to be a world-class speaker by providing both actionable and relevant training as well as hosting multiple panel discussions for our events. Rarely do you find someone with as much diverse experience in the criminal justice field paired with broadcast knowledge. We couldn't recommend Jason enough for both online and in-person speaking engagements.
