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.*

Great course
Great examples of real life hidden compartments found while on patrol.
Jeremy was a solid instructor with good enthusiasm throughout the entire class. I was glad he hit on slight interdiction tactics as well as very in depth hidden compartment findings. The body can and real live videos that were added to the…
Awesome, credible, ethical training on traps, and good review of interview techniques.
Been doing this job for 15 years and in those 15 years I’ve only been getting personal amount of dope. This class has taught me to search vehicles and to look in areas I’ve never thought to look.
Great class
Very well put together class.
Great breakdown of all different areas of vehicles
Must attend if you want to broaden your scope of searches. You will not learn this material by accident or at any basic training.
Phenomenal class and instructor that has a plethora of knowledge on the subject. Tons of unknown voids that I was unaware of before this class. Highly recommend!
