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.*

Student Feedback
Good information. This subject should have been elaborated more in the Sheriff’s Academy.
Amazing class! Excellent job of bringing advanced techniques down to the level on young officers!
I have no idea how he fit so much information into a 1 day course and I am greatly appreciative of the course. Probably one of the best courses I’ve ever been to.
Great course
Great training! Very useful information.
The best class I’ve taken thus far. So much information on vehicles we are currently seeing on the roads. He makes you eager to go out there and start popping loads!
This class exceed all my expectations for a one—day course. Jeremy was able to pass on so much information, and this info will literally flatten the learning curve for those attending. Many of the compartments he showed would take years to…
This was a great class. This is my 3rd in-person Street Cop class. This one was the most “technical”, but absolutely necessary to complete the basics on the interdiction skill set. Eye opening information on how to properly search a vehicl…
Jeremy did a phenomenal job of breaking down each part of the vehicle to rule out all natural voids/hidden compartments. I feel more confident now with searching vehicles than ever before due to how the class was presented. 10/10 recommend…
Jeremy put on a great and informative class. This isn’t just for highway interdiction but any officers out there putting in work and searching cars. He is very knowledgable and articulates the process very well. It’s another must go to cla…
