About this course

“Good tactics can save even the worst strategy.
Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy.”
-George S. Patton

Course Overview
Kellar Rear bumber aim edited mountains Interdiction is widely taught across the country.  Various classes teach on this topic, whether learning “The Drive” or employing a high volume of stops.  However, the “tactics” to keep the interdiction officer safe are constantly overlooked or rarely highlighted.  STOPS Tactical Criminal Interdiction is a training program that stresses proactive officers’ safety, giving them a foundation for success in the interdiction world.

STOPS Tactical Criminal Interdiction focuses on tactics the proactive officer should utilize when seeking the criminal element.  We have developed a tactical course that breaks the stop/contact into three parts: the beginning, middle, and end of contact.  Using these concentrated training areas; we can identify where tactics need to override habit, routine, and complacency.  While taking drugs, guns, and criminals off our roads is pivotal to interdiction, it is more important to get home to loved ones at the end of the shift.  This course outlines practical and easy-to-implement tactics to employ when hunting down criminals in your jurisdiction.  With a combination of classroom and outdoor instruction, this course will cover the rapid assessment needed to categorize a traffic stop properly.  We will highlight several tactics taught in the STOPS program, including an in-depth breakdown of Unknown Risk Stops.  Using these proven tactics can accentuate the ability to read verbal and non-verbal cues of criminal activity.  While this is not a class covering specifics of a roadside interview or hidden compartments, it is an overview of interdiction, where to employ it, and the differences between street and highway interdiction.  Tactics taught here work in either application.
