The course covers the **entire interdiction process—from identifying the vehicle to finding the load.** Students will learn how to recognize criminal behavior and unusual travel, develop high-quality traffic stops, conduct effective roadside interviews, recognize indicators of criminal activity, transition into vehicle searches, and identify sophisticated concealment methods used by criminal organizations.

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.
