A great class that can apply to all units within an agency. From officers of 6 months on the job to veteran patrolman and supervisors, this class will benefit everyone.

I really appreciate your attention to the details and truly trying to help us understand interview techniques and questions. I think most agencies severely lack in this kind of training. I can tell you’re truly passionate about it and I hope to work alongside more like minded people because my current department doesn’t seem to have the same passion. I appreciate your time.

The course was very thorough, and it helped put the pieces together on how to get started in interdiction work. This class motivated me to want to go out and start putting in the work and applying the techniques and material learned today. I have yet to ask for consent or really do a roadside interview because I never felt confident or knew how and I definitely feel like I can do that after this class.

This class was extremely helpful and beneficial. I loved the balance between presentation slides and videos. Interdiction hasn’t been my niche, but I’m excited to jump back on the road and apply the techniques we learned in this class.

Took his interdiction class first, so I already knew the level he brings. This deceptive behavior detection course builds directly on that and goes even deeper. It is not theory-heavy fluff, it is practical and immediately usable. The way he breaks down behavior, baseline, and deviation is clear and easy to apply in real-world contacts and interviews.

What stood out most is how it ties directly into roadside interdiction and everyday patrol work. You start seeing things you would have missed before, and more importantly, you understand how to articulate it. That alone makes it worth it. The instruction is structured, direct, and based on real experience.

This course is going to solidly improve my ability to read people, conduct better interviews, and build stronger cases. If you have taken his interdiction class already, this is the next step. If you have not, you are still going to walk away with tools you can use immediately. Highly recommend.

Really good class! Good info for both new and experienced officers. Very in depth when it comes to interviews and the tactics behind it. I appreciate it being all of your videos, and not using other officers videos. It helps keep your class invested because it seems that much more real. Well done!

Nick Jackson did a great job with his presentation. This course is designed to teach deceptive behavior in traffic stops. The basics of this training can assist with general crime investigations. Getting bad guys to talk only helps you develop additional PC. New or seasoned officers will benefit from this training.

This was a good course for me. I enjoyed being able to learn from somebody who does interdiction for a living and not somebody that just gets narcotics on patrol. I would have enjoyed diving more into what types of cars are stopped and the conversation that goes into gaining consent. I did like using actual stops and videos where loads are caught.

Good coarse. As a hostage negotiator we utilize the communication aspects that are used here. I would love to see how to help new officers take this in and be receptive and pro active to this in lower call volume areas or low moral.

This class was great. The PowerPoints were very organized and gave a good understanding of the process of interdiction. The use of actual police videos were very helpful to see the topics being implemented. I know there were documents to show the deceptive behavior being articulated in a report but I’d like to hear more of how you articulate these behaviors in reports.

This was a great class. I enjoyed the portion about human behavior and how to spot deception within verbal communication. I like all the different videos and how they relate to different investigations. I would like to see more information about the baseline questioning and how to expand on that.

Good class. Knowledgeable instructor that relied on real world examples instead of just power points. Showing his actual videos are more beneficial due to him being able to break them down.

This was an amazing class. Nick was extremely knowledgeable and had the experience to back up what he was teaching. This class definitely lit a fire under me to get out there and hit the streets hard looking for drugs/money/guns. I will be looking for more of Nick’s classes to attend.

The power point was strong it was direct and very clear. Instructor was great very knowledgeable and was able to articulate everything he was doing during the duration of the traffic stop

This class was very informative, I appreciate seeing the behavior in a real life video. It would be nice to see interviews of examples outside of traffic stops, IE domestics, other felony investigations to see other examples of deceptive behavior.
