Description

Smugglers, Inc.® 2.0 is a proprietary, tradecraft-focused course built from over two decades of operational interdiction experience. Unlike traditional highway drug interdiction programs, this 10-hour course exposes officers to the real-world tactics, deception techniques, and clandestine behavior used by high-level smuggling groups operating across North America.
Developed and delivered by the interdiction subject matter experts at Triple I Solutions, this course dives deep into the structure, recruitment, movement, and concealment strategies used by smuggling operatives. Participants will learn how to detect clandestine tradecraft during roadside encounters, identify behavioral deception during interviews, and articulate
their observations for both investigative and courtroom purposes. Course content is rooted in lived case experience—not statistics—and reinforced through field-proven strategies, casestudy analysis, and interactive discussion. Officers will leave with sharper instincts, practical tools, and courtroom- defensible methods to dismantle complex smuggling operations at every level.

The way the class was taught by Coburn made more sense than a lot of classes I have been to, as it was catered to and taught how rural interdiction works. We see less vehicles and have to operate differently on rural highways than interstates and Coburn offered up several different takes on this that I had not considered before.
