While not having gone there myself I can only go by Ken Hackathorn giving TDI a high recommendation.

I haven't heard a ton about them as far as LE/Military circles. I have heard a lot about them in other forums, and the reviews have been pretty good. I'm not sure that they do a lot of traveling, so there customer base MAY be restricted to people withing a half day of driving. I believe they have some good instructors with several years of LE experience, and a broad class offering. I read a solid review of them in a magazine a year or so back. Don't know if this helps, just some thoughts.

The Oct '07 issue of SWAT has a review on it.

Recommended! Excellent training facility and instructors. Several ranges, including pistol, carbine & rifle, 2 live-fire shoot houses, 1 force-on-force house & jungle lane. Overall, this is one of the best values out there for the dollars spent. John Benner & crew are experienced, knowledgeable and present a first rate curriculum. David Bowie of Bowie Tactical is one of the instructors.

The facility is located outside a small town in southern Ohio and you'll receive their recommendations for local lodging, which are very helpful. This is not a heavily populated, shopping mall type community.

I'm reluctant to comment since I have no direct experience but a couple of classmates from a Pat Rogers AK class spoke highly of them.

One said he was able to do more @ TDI in one class than he did in two classes @ Thunder Ranch (TX).

YMMV

I'm planning on going when I can get my schedule deconflicted.
