Gary T. Klugiewicz, a Vistelar Group director, is the founder of Active Countermeasures Instructional Systems, a global training organization focused on defensive tactics, tactical communications, and conflict resolution for public safety professionals,

Gary’s background includes national championships in Knockdown Karate, 25 years of leadership within law enforcement and corrections, 6 years as a Calibre Press national speaker, 7 years as Director of Research and Development for the Verbal Judo Institute, and decades serving as an expert witness in use-of-force cases.

ACMi Systems speaking and training has historically been focused on police, corrections, mental health, and military personnel — but, in recent years, the company has been very involved in Vistelar’s anti- bullying and verbal abuse programs.

ACMi Systems instructor training programs stress adult learning methodologies, guided discovery, simulation scenarios, and positive group debriefing techniques.
