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.*

Awesome course that expands.
Jeremy did a great job showing the numerous ways people conceal narcotics or other contraband in motor vehicles and how to locate/gain access to it.
Great course with a great instructor. The course content was kept simple and able to understand everything. Awesome videos to help understand the course and learn.
Great informative class. This class will give all attendees some extra tools to help them search vehicles better and not miss concealed contraband.
This class prioritized attention to detail and focusing on the little abnormalities. I highly recommend this class for better searching techniques and searching with an open mind.
