Webinar Overview
In this tactical webinar, Nick Jackson breaks down one of the most critical—and often overlooked—elements of a traffic stop: driver placement. Drawing from real-world experience and case examples, Nick dives deep into the three primary positioning options he uses during traffic stops, depending on the environment, threat level, and behavioral cues from the driver.
Whether you're working inner city, rural highways, or high-crime areas, this course will give you practical strategies for:
- Assessing threat levels based on driver behavior and environment
- Determining when and why to avoid placing drivers in your front seat
- Conducting safe and effective roadside interviews
- Maintaining tactical advantage while ensuring officer safety
- Identifying pre-assault indicators and red flags
- Adapting tactics for street-level vs. mid/high-level criminals
From subtle “Spidey senses” to visible pre-fight cues, Nick explains how to read the scene, position yourself for success, and minimize risk.
This webinar is ideal for patrol officers, interdiction units, and anyone conducting proactive vehicle stops who wants to level up their threat assessment and decision-making on the roadside.
