"Lt. Wynn is not only the best law enforcement trainer that I've ever
heard, he is also a true advocate for battered women."
- Merni Carter, Executive Director, Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence

"Mark Wynn makes an audience of law enforcement and advocates recognize their own abilities to make a difference. He helps us to see new ways of working together to end violence against women. His expertise in law enforcement is augmented by his values, his personal experiences and his respect for the work of advocates and others who must come together to end domestic violence".
- Deborah D. Tucker, Executive Director
National Training Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence

"Lt. Mark Wynn does not call violence in the home abuse. Like me, he calls it terrorism. He should know. His experience shows how children who frequently witness abuse against their mother learn to avenge such behavior with violence." 
- Donna A. Shalala, Secretary of Health and Human Services

Speech before the American Medical Association's
