Instruction progresses from **roadside interdiction tactics and behavioral indicators to advanced vehicle searches and hidden compartments.** Students will learn how to recognize tooling and tampering, identify natural and manufactured voids, conduct systematic vehicle searches, and locate electronically and manually operated compartments concealed throughout passenger vehicles.

**Topics include:** criminal behavior and travel indicators, roadside interviews, vehicle selection, traffic-stop tactics, search techniques, natural voids, tooling and tampering, electronic and manual traps, floor compartments, rocker panels, firewalls, dashboards, roofs, tires, and other advanced concealment methods.

Accounts for space in every type of vehicle. Passenger cars, trucks, SUVs, etc. Not overly technical. Everyone can follow, understand, and apply these skills.
