#161 After Dark: The Art Of Interdiction - Traffic Stops, Takedowns & Street-Level Communication w/ Kenny Williams @Red_Ninja111

Today, I’m joined by Kenny Williams — better known online as @red_ninja111.He’s a full-time interdiction officer, and the host of the Beyond the Barrel podcast. He’s also a partner in The Justice Academy, where he helps law enforcement officers sharpen their edge through specialized training.Kenny’s been in the law enforcement game since 2007, and his current role keeps him out on the roads every day — pulling over everyone from your average commuter to full-blown traffickers moving drugs, guns, and even humans.This isn’t something we’ve dug into much on the show before, so I wanted to bring Kenny in and unpack the art of interdiction — what that job really looks like, how it’s done right, and why it matters.If you’re in law enforcement, especially out on patrol, there’s a ton to take away here. And if you’re just a citizen who wants to better understand the mindset of the officer pulling you over — or how not to act like a jackass during a stop — this one’s for you too.-Timestamps:00:00 Intro06:36 Kenny’s Path To Law Enforcement10:22 Getting Into Interdiction15:06 City Vs.
