Description

CARTEL TRAPS — HIDDEN COMPARTMENT TRAINING

**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.*

This course is very helpful in thoroughly checking tooling and possible areas someone can be hiding narcotics inside the vehicle. The instructor explained the importance of clearing voids and possible compartments where narcotics can be hidden.

Cartel Traps by Jeremy is hands down without question the best trap training there is. If you are serious about interdiction no matter your skill level this class is for you. It will up your game dramatically. I give this class an A++++. This class is good regardless but the hands on class is insane!! I've been to trap training and none of those compare. Jeremy is a savage, so go learn from the best!

I feel like this is the foundation of interdiction training for loaded cars or even your local drug dealers. You have to know where to look after you stop the right car and get consent or PC to search.
