Description

Interdiction Academy 2.0 is a modernized, courtroom-defensible training program designed for law enforcement officers who want to sharpen their ability to detect and disrupt criminal activity on America's roadways. This 10-hour course blends real interdiction experience, behavioral science, and investigative strategy to prepare officers for the realities of roadside encounters. Students will learn to identify criminal driving behavior, roadside selection tactics, and vehicle registration patterns, as well as smuggling methods involving commercial vehicles and car haulers. The class emphasizes cover stories, deceptive travel narratives, behavioral baselines, pacitying cues, roadside interviews, and consensual encounters, while building skills to link behavior to reasonable suspicion and probable cause and articulate findings in reports and testimony that withstand defense scrutiny. The course is taught by Nick Jackson, a nationally recognized interdiction instructor with over 14 years of law enforcement service, including a decade dedicated to narcotics and criminal interdiction, during which he has seized millions in illicit U.S. currency, thousands of kilograms of controlled substances, and made hundreds of felony arrests. His teaching is rooted in operational experience, proven interdiction methods, and courtroom-tested results, giving officers practical tools they can apply immediately on the roadside.

Great class picking up on behavior. Shows amazing ways of talking and communicating with people. Only thing I’d love more of is watching the car behavior and picking of cars to stop.

Absolutely great course. I’ve taken 4 other interdiction classes prior to this. I’ve had a few successful stops in my career leading to a couple kilos but mostly small stuff grams and ounces. This class stood out to me the most because Nick teaches the importance of the field interviews and how certain questions can trigger a response. I’m really excited to apply these tactics to my job. I highly recommend this course to anybody wanting to maximize their results in criminal interdiction.

I will be going back to my department recommending fellow officers to attend. The experience provided from the instructor is something all new officers need to hear. Going into the interview process and being consistent with traffic stops is something everyone needs to be better at and Nick goes into why this is not only important to be successful but for court as well.
