“Your work in teaching communications skills and raising officer awareness is without peer. I think the true expert or authority of a matter or subject is the person who lives in that role, totally immersed, developed, and infused until instinctive. You certainly have achieved this level of understanding and have coupled it with a keen ability to instruct.

As the Baltimore Police Department grows stronger and more capable to solve the problems long plaguing our city, a handful of devoted people can claim a role in our success. Trust that you are among that number and have my gratitude and appreciation.” former PoliceCommissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld,III

“Hans was able to provide critical direction to Harlem Academy’s program development…When I think about how he approaches hard questions with me, it makes it easy to understand why motivated people value the chance to work on his team…Hans is a great problem solver, but he is even better at articulating and working toward a vision…at the retreat that he led he knew how to ask questions and share information in a manner that inspired collaboration and kept us focused on what would best move the school forward…Hans possesses tireless energy, a forthright, results-focused communications style, vision, and a passion for educational excellence. His work has been extraordinary, and I have no doubt that he will continue to make a difference here in New York City and wherever there is a challenge to overcome.”
Vinny Dotoli, Head of School Harlem Academy
