Amazing course. Seeing all the videos validated that Nic knows exactly what he is talking about. Can’t wait to get out there and put everything learned to use.

This class is a good stepping stone for those wishing to get better at consensual encounters and understand it’s easier than you think. Once you have a good fundamental understanding of the lawful way to encounter people you can put your work to good use and see the positive correlation. He provided real world examples and nothing is outdated or dry.

The parcel interdiction and consensual encounters class was highly informative and practical. It provided a clear understanding of how to identify suspicious packages and subjects and apply affective screening techniques. The instructor provided real world examples which helped.

Nic did a great job showing his craft and skills by providing his body camera videos. Being able to watch him explain consensual encounters with real life body camera videos allows for a better understanding of the entire process.

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.
