In criminal interdiction, indicators before a stop start the inquiry. The interview is where an officer confirms or dispels it.
Tactical Tradecraft Solutions LLC trains officers to conduct structured roadside interviews, analyze verbal and nonverbal cues that reveal deception, and build reasonable suspicion through layered behavioral and contextual factors.
Identify driving behaviors before the stop that are consistent with criminal activity.
Establish a behavioral baseline during the initial encounter.
Conduct a structured roadside interview to elicit contradictions.
Recognize the verbal and nonverbal cues that indicate deception.
Layer behavioral and contextual factors to build reasonable suspicion.
Apply current case law to the encounter and gain lawful consent.

Interdiction interviewing only helps a case when an officer can explain what was asked, what was answered, and what was observed. The training focuses on observable behavior, articulable facts, lawful investigative practices, and constitutional policing principles.
It does not teach profiling. Course content reflects the legal standards and guidance used at the time of instruction, and attendees remain responsible for following current law and their agency policies.
Interdiction Academy 2.0 covers the full stop, including structured roadside interviews. Deceptive Behavioral Detection 2.0 concentrates on detecting deception and includes interviews between students.
