Course Description
**Cartel Traps Hidden Compartment Training** is a comprehensive one-day classroom course designed to give law enforcement officers the knowledge and techniques needed to conduct more thorough and effective vehicle searches.
The course takes officers beyond a basic vehicle search by teaching them **how to systematically identify and clear the natural voids found throughout a vehicle**, recognize indicators of aftermarket modifications, and detect sophisticated hidden compartments used to conceal narcotics, currency, weapons, and other contraband.
Students will learn how to recognize **tooling, tampering, dimensional inconsistencies, non-factory construction, electronic and manual access systems, and other indicators of concealment.** The course breaks down hidden compartments throughout the entire vehicle, including floors, firewalls, rocker panels, dashboards, center consoles, roofs, trunks, cargo areas, engine compartments, and other commonly exploited locations.
Real-world photographs, videos, case studies, and detailed trap-car breakdowns are used throughout the course to show students exactly what these compartments look like and, more importantly, **how to recognize the indicators that lead to their discovery.**
From commonly overlooked natural voids to highly sophisticated electronically operated compartments, Cartel Traps provides officers with a systematic approach to vehicle searching that can be immediately applied in the field.
**Clear the Voids. Know what factory looks like. Stop missing traps.**
*Training restricted to sworn law enforcement personnel.*

A ton of good information and really makes you look a vehicles different.
This class makes me want to go out and stop cars right away! Ace it has the total package, from roadside interview and how to search vehicles. If you want to be a better dope cop take this class!
Great training to help you search cars more effectively! Even if you aren't getting "load" vehicles in your area
I've been to multiple hands on course for searching vehicles. Cartel Traps gave more in depth information on breaking down voids and searching vehicles than some of the other classes.
Simple and effective techniques that every LEO needs to know to be fully effective during searches! Can’t wait to hit some loads!
Best class I’ve attended that breaks down each part of a proper vehicle search.

Very good course and a lot of really good information.
I learned a lot.
Great class! Jeremy presented an incredible amount of information for a one day class. He has an insane amount of first-hand experience with compartments but did a great job keeping it simple. I was a little worried it would be difficult…
