This episode turned into exactly what this podcast is supposed to be.

No script. No forced questions. Just real conversation with someone who actually lives this job.

I sat down with Nic Boney from Nebraska State Patrol and ACEIT Interdiction and we got into it.

This is not about traffic stops…

But a completely different side of interdiction that most people don’t even think about. Buses, parcels, consensual encounters… and how to actually build cases from nothing but conversation and behavior.

We talked about how he got there, the work it took, and the reality that nobody is just handed these spots. You either put in the work or you don’t.

There’s stories in this one that show how fast things can go from a simple conversation… to running someone down… to search warrants… to multiple kilos and cash being pulled off the street—all in a matter of hours.

And the biggest takeaway?

You don’t need perfect conditions.
You don’t need a K9.
You don’t need to wait for the “right” assignment.

You need to learn how to talk to people. You need to recognize behavior. And you need to be willing to go do it.

If you’ve ever thought interdiction was just sitting on the interstate waiting for something to happen… this one will change how you look at the job.

Hit play.
