ACE Interdiction Tactics Law Enforcement Training

Good informative class I really enjoyed it.4

This course completed change my outlook on what I do on a daily basis. This course lit a fire in me to get into my community and make a change by removing drugs from the road.

1. Managing the First Impression (MFI)- This model is unique to ACE IT and covers the tactics and countermeasures smuggler's and criminals use to influence law enforcement's perception of them. Once exposed to this tactic, its comical how easy it is to spot in use. We think its funny, but it probably is use successfully on the un-trained officer.

2. One-on-One Q&A w/Prosecutor- This is one of the things I was most excited about prior to attending the class. I have never seen or heard of another training company doing anything like it. It was very beneficial to hear a prosecutor's impression on interdiction and his tips.

3. Report Writing/Articulation- This also seems to be skipped in most interdiction trainings. Topics covered include common factors Defense Attorney's attack in suppression hearing

I have known Al and Bauer for 10 years and have worked with them on various cases. I have seen firsthand how they apply what they teach. I have attended several classes from various companies and can say this is the best class I have attended. They not only teach legal and correct tactics but teach how to articulate what you are seeing in the behaviors of those involved in criminal activity and explain why someone is exhibiting those behaviors. I strongly recommend anyone looking to get into interdiction attend this class. If you’re an experienced interdictor, this class will greatly add to your tool belt. You won’t be disappointed!

I attended a 2-day course and an online course in 2021. Bauer and Al are excellent instructors with experience and perspectives that you can trust and have stood up in federal court. Ever had something explained to you in a training that was great information, but hard to remember or didn't stick the way it should? Bauer and Al's Managing the First Impression (MFI) training gives you an easy model to remember and articulate how criminals will attempt to manage your perception of them upon initial contact. I still remember Bauer reiterating "forced, unsolicited, and unrelated" information, and explaining each of those key points in detail and in a way that is easy to apply roadside. I've literally mumbled under my breath on a stop, "This guy is totally MFI'ing me right now." Once you learn it, apply it on your stops, and see it firsthand, it will stand out every time! Some courses try to teach you everything and do an average job. Bauer and Al focus on interview and MFI, and nail it!

Bauer and AL are some of the very best in the industry they are changing the way law enforcement was originally and making a huge impact in the game... thanks guys for everything you do and look forward to the next bust.

Bauer has a fantastic delivery of this class. He uses his own videos to break and illustrate the points he is trying to make. Bauer is also approachable and makes it easy to ask questions. This class is a must take class.

This course is packed with relevant, specific information that you can use to identify criminal activity, take enforcement action, and WIN in court. You don't have to work high level interdiction to find value in this course. The principles taught here can be used for anyone that desires to be proactive. Definitely will attend again.

Hands down one of the best interdiction classes I have ever been to! I like how he breaks everything down as you go while you are seeing it from his body camera. There is a lot of things you can look for to get an idea that there is criminal activity there. But he explains the things that he sees on his stops that a untrained eye may not catch. I mean it’s not every class you get to be taught by a highly respected prosecutor as well. Great class, great material, great instructors if you haven’t taken the steps to get in this class you are missing out. Even if you do not work interdiction and work a small town these methods work with everyone you meet.

This class far exceeded my expectations. Bauer and Al's teaching techniques and shared experiences are top notch. They keep you on the edge of your seat. I highly recommend this class to EVERYONE new and old in their careers.
