Criminal Interdiction Training Reviews

Very informative class. Wish there was more time to dive deeper into the mindset and theology behind extremism.

I search vehicles frequently but always felt a little concerned about damaging property or that I was missing something in my search. After watching this training I feel a lot more confident and can’t wait to put this training into action!

Bauer and Al are fantastic instructors and an even better individuals. The way they speak and teach, shows how passionate they are about interdiction work and the work they do. On top they are very personal and open about sharing their knowledge.

Police officers need to attend this class. The information that was provided about how the inner workings (ideology) of multiple organizations was mind blowing. I highly recommend this to every level of law enforcement from patrol to chiefs.

Shaheen Pardazi delivered an outstanding presentation of his Mules & Martyrs class. I was genuinely blown away by how important and relevant this material is. His delivery was sharp, practical, and connected directly to what we deal with on the street. This is hands down the best class I’ve attended in years. Every cop should make it a priority to sit through this course, it’s that good.

Great class, lots of information but it’s delivered with detail. Instructor is great makes the class engaging. Definitely recommend other officers to take this class.

Excellent class. Lots of information . Recommend to all LEOs

Mules and Martyrs was a really eye-opening class that gave me a better understanding of Muslim culture and how it differs from extremist beliefs. It helped clear up a lot of misconceptions and gave practical info on how radicalization happens and what signs to look for. I feel more prepared to spot potential threats while still being respectful and aware of cultural differences. Overall, it was a solid class that made me more confident in handling situations involving possible terrorist activity.

I recently completed Shawn Pardazi’s 24‑hour “Mules & Martyrs” course in Southlake—a timely, critical training that should be mandatory for all Texas law enforcement officers.

In today’s world—marked by ongoing conflicts in Israel, Palestine, Iran, and Syria—understanding the ideological spectrum of Middle Eastern communities is more vital than ever. Recent events have shown how U.S. citizens have been targeted and killed by individuals radicalized into extremist interpretations of Islam. Mr. Pardazi’s curriculum addressed myths, debunked false narratives, and offered a balanced examination of cultural diversity alongside the realities of extremist ideologies.

Prior to the course I had limited knowledge of Middle Eastern cultures; I left with a comprehensive, actionable understanding that I can apply directly in the field. This course delivers far more value than many currently mandated training sessions that lack operational relevance. Highly recommend!

This course provides an outstanding overview of the mindset of a terrorist that is helpful for my work. Great Course

Learned a lot of things from overseas that I didn’t know that existed in the US

Encourage all LEOs to attend.

Great course! All officers should take for intel.

Outstanding class. Something every cop or law enforcement officer should attend. In this day and age is very necessary information.

Awesome class! I think this class is a must for all police officers, no matter you experience or title.

Mules & Martyrs’ Drug Interdiction & Counter-Terrorism class is the most authentic, no-nonsense training I’ve taken. No sugar-coated theory just field-proven insight delivered by an instructor whose real-world wins frame every slide. Over two focused days we learned how to craft questions that pierce cover stories, tell a genuine threat from a hopeful recruit, and read the cultural currents driving radicalization. There were no staged exercises, yet the vivid operational examples street interviews, border checkpoints, post-blast debriefs made each tactic stick. Every lesson ties to actual seizures, arrests, or foiled plots, giving you methods ready for tonight’s shift. If your agency wants results, not academic fluff, book this course and watch your team’s interdiction IQ jump overnight.

This class was extremely informative and was mind blowing. Will recommend to fellow officers.

I absolutely loved this course! It provided a lot of helpful tips that I never would have thought about when searching cars.

Bauer and Al are great instructor and an even better individuals. You can tell how passionate they are about the interdiction world and the work they do. On top they are very personal and open about sharing their knowledge. A must take course for those that love to be pro-active.

Great class!

Great instruction and examples on street work. Extremely motivating as a young guy

Excellent equipping tools to help combat that which plagues our nation. Drugs, deceptive behavior, etc. Exceptionally well illustrated and articulated. Top notch.

This course has taken the thought of a traffic stop from ticket to illegal guns drugs more
The conversation the consent the deception so many good gems in this course from pros who do interdiction full time

Great training

Class was good. Great for a cop with 1-3 years on.

I recently completed the Criminal Interdiction class, and overall, it was an insightful and highly informative experience. The course was designed for law enforcement in understanding the techniques and strategies behind criminal interdiction. The class covered a wide range of topics, including how to spot suspicious behavior, understand criminal patterns, and utilize technology in interdiction efforts. The information was current, relevant, and applicable to real-world scenarios.

The course was very informative and extremely detailed. I highly recommend that anyone in law enforcement attends this class.

Looking forward to using the techniques on patrol. First interdiction class I’ve taken.

Great class! Makes officers slow down and evaluate every situation to an
