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.

Whether you are a patrol officer looking to become more proactive or an experienced interdiction officer looking to sharpen your skills, this course is designed to provide the knowledge and practical experience necessary to take your interdiction abilities to the next level.

Hands down the best concealment class I have attended to date. Jeremy walks you through step by step on every possible location within a vehicle. Been doing this 20 years, and I learned several new techniques today. It's a must attend class.

The best trap class you can ever get to. I’ll never search a car the same way again. This class will 100% allow you to hit a big load and find stuff you would have never found before.
