Description

It is estimated that 75% of all crimes are committed with a vehicle. Whether it is a robbery, kidnapping, homicide, terrorism, auto theft trafficking, or any other crime, it is important for a police officer to be able to identify the vehicle they are interacting with or know the steps necessary to identify it. Auto Theft & Vehicle Crimes will introduce police officers to vehicle identification number (“VIN”) structure, locations (public and secondary), and methods to determine the true VIN of a vehicle. Auto Theft & Vehicle Crimes provides instruction on CARFAX for Police and other resources to verify the validity and history of a vehicle’s VIN. Students will dive into the world of organized auto theft trafficking and the theft crew network before learning to recognize many of the current auto theft trends. Students will learn to spot a stolen vehicle, where they are concealed, why factory stolen vehicle location devices aren’t often effective, and ways to identify and catch a thief.

In this class, you learn how suspects conceal stolen vehicles, which ultimately leads to other crimes. The way Cory breaks this down is easy to understand and makes you want to leave the class and go find criminals immediately. One of the best classes I’ve attended in my 10 years.

If you’re not good at theft, you’ll get good. If you’re already good, you get better. The exposure to vehicle theft that the Rodriguez has, is beyond what I expected and he is good at explaining the intricacies of different tactics used in vehicle theft.
