About the Guest, Adam Kinakin:

In the Spring of 2019, the founder of ILET Summit, Adam Kinakin, started a new podcast called The Tactical Breakdown. The core premise was to give members of the public safety, emergency response, and military a “behind-the-scenes” look at how we create and deliver training.

The podcast got immediate traction by quickly reaching 50,000 downloads in over 82 countries, so in December 2019, a conversation started around delivering unmatched access to training to officers around the world. This initial concept became what is now the ILET Summit.

Fast forward to March 2020, Covid-19 restrictions had effectively shut down all training around the world and the inaugural International Law Enforcement Training (ILET) Summit was hosted 100% online to approx 10,000 law enforcement professionals from 76 countries.

The summit is still going strong today. More information can be found at https://www.ilet.network/company
