About the Instructor: Nick Ramos has turned little arrests into big investigations for decades.
From flipping a user into dealer, then up to the supplier.
But he’s also turned drug mules into transnational informants lasting several years and multiple states.
From simple post-Miranda interviews to federally protected confidential informants, he has done what he is teaching hundreds upon hundreds of times…and all by the book.
Nick spent 20 years as a New Mexico State Trooper.
He’s worked in small towns as the only cop for a hundred miles, and in major metropolitan crime-ridden cities.
He was New Mexico’s Officer of the Year and was called a “bloodhound for narcotics” by the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Nick’s life has been dedicated to chasing criminals and his passion shows in this class.
This Class Can Change Your Career:
Learning to spin small investigations into major investigations is a skill that has taken many patrol officers off the streets and into specialized investigative units faster than any other skill.
The ability to turn a simple arrest into real intelligence is rare—and everyone notices it.
That information is often the missing puzzle piece in a homicide, robbery, or crime series.
Supervisors also recognize the difference between “report-takers” and investigators on their squads.
They will go the extra mile to develop officers with the “talent” for solving crimes and the drive to work hard.
Hard-working and “gifted” officers get additional training and opportunities to work with specialized assignments. Report-takers don’t get those chances.
