Understanding the Mexican Cartels and Narco Cultura

Highly recommend. I’ve been to plenty of trainings over the years and very few have ever gone to the depths that Vic does. You will leave with an understanding how Mexican criminal groups operate, how they rose, how they fell, strengths, weaknesses, and symbols used. Further, you will understand the background of the icons that have a valid belief and meaning that have been hijacked by criminal groups. Vic does a great job explaining what’s criminal and what’s not with case studies and examples to show. Highly recommend for anyone in law enforcement at any level.

This course has open my eyes when it comes to the drug world. There’s so much to unpack in just four days of class. I feel like I’ve gained a lot of information that I can take back to my agency and apply in my narcotics investigations. Looking back, there have been several items of interest that I have missed simply because I didn’t know this information. If you think you won’t understand it because you don’t speak Spanish, I promise you that Victor puts it in a way that you can understand it in English. This class also shows how much bias there is towards the things that we don’t understand within the Mexican culture. It is very refreshing to see someone explain culture versus narco culture with research and facts.

Great class. Thanks for the information.

100% good

This course was very thorough and explained, in detail, all course materials.

I would recommend this class to take

This class was great. I think many rookie le need to take it to help keep alert incase they run into a situation where MFTO may be present but not to confuse religion with it either.

This course was great! A lot of knowledge about the culture and operations. Law Enforcement whom still operate a patrol vehicle will have way more better understanding of what type of vehicles an or symbols of “Cartels”. I highly suggest this course to my agency and other law enforcement agencies!

Great course very informative with updated information

Really good class with a lot of relevant and useful information.

Great class

Great training, lots of information

For anybody wanting to learn about the Mexican cartels and the culture they use and be able to understand it I would highly recommend this class. It’s amazing and victor is so knowledgeable and has a lot of really good information to pass along. Not to mention it’s a great way to improve your officer safety. I would recommend this class to all law enforcement officers at every level.

Very informational class. Eye opener to all possibilities that I have missed and or did not understand.

Amazing! Highly recommend!

If you have any desire to be in the criminal interdiction world, this class should be your first stop. I wish it had been mine. It was extremely eye-opening and will be a staple in my career moving forward!

I was suspecting a basic “cartel” course that gave more propaganda than the underlining detail I actually received. Victor’s knowledge and experience in criminal interdiction is impressive but it is only the beginning to ACTUALLY understanding why and how these TCOs operate. I feel like every officer should take this course no matter what. Absolutely fantastic class with undeniably useful information for everyday police work!

This class has a lot of information. Victor is very great and is a wealth of knowledge. If you can take this class do it. It will be beneficial.

Great class a lot of information

The class was amazing and I feel every officer should take this at some point in their career. This course opens your eyes and shows you that the smallest thing on a call could be an interesting factor.

Fantastic class with endless knowledge. Victor is very well versed in this field and is a wealth of knowledge.

Victor has an enormous knowledge on this subject. Certainly will break the police bias that is taught by other classes. Opens your eyes to the trafficking happening in your own back yard.

The class had a lot of good information, however there is so much information it may be best to be broken up into two classes. I learned a lot

Best police training I have attended in my career. Vic has a wealth of knowledge in these topics and I am glad I was able to take a bit of it. 100% recommend to attend if able.

The class was extremely helpful to learn more about the culture and outreach of MTCO’s in the Denver metro area.
