For the last year, I had about how great Nick’s course was on OSINT & Social Media so I had high expectations going in.

He crushed it! The training and knowledge was top notch. I thought I could find any needle in a haystack, Nick showed me I had not even scratched the surface of using OSINT to its fullest potential. For one of my crypto investigations, I could not nail down a particular individual tried to a wallet address. After the training, in 24 hours, I peeled back the onion about 8 layers and ID’d exactly who I had spent weeks looking for.

The Social Media and OSINT class will be a training I take annually.

Highly, highly, recommend this course. The instructor is transparent from the start and how OSINT is for all levels of LE.

Eye opening training on how to protect you and your family. Also understanding how to track down investigative leads.

Another great class. No bs.I previously took the interdiction academy class and it helped my career in LE. I was able to recognize behaviors and expand the traffic stop beyond the ticket/citation. My agency did not pay for me to attend this training and I attended this training on my own time. It’s worth it. It’s worth the investment in yourself and your career.

Really enjoyed this class! Nick is informative and very friendly! You can tell he’s passionate about interdiction and sharing his knowledge! Would’ve been nice for it to be a normal 8 hour course, 10 hours feels a little long. But I get that Nick is trying to share all of his knowledge and experience!

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.

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!
