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.*

Highly recommend
This class breaks it down so simple to know what’s not normal and find the load!
Great class. Already feel so much more confident in my ability and skillset.
One of the best classes I’ve attended!
Thanks for coming out!
I recently attended the Cartel Traps class taught by Jeremy, and it was excellent. Jeremy was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought real-world experience to the training. I learned several new techniques for identifying concealed compartmen…
This is a great class for anyone willing to be proactive or anyone who loves to learn.
I have been doing this job a while and wanted to keep up with tactics and methods. I loved the class as it was gave me lots of information, techniques and methods!!
Even if you know nothing about vehicles you will walk away with not only incredible trap knowledge, but you’ll have a better understanding of vehicles in general
This course provides knowledge of where narcotics or weapons can be hidden that most don’t ever think about. Give great knowledge and new ways to think.
