This intensive three-day course combines **Interdiction Tactics** and **Cartel Traps Hidden Compartment Training** into one comprehensive interdiction program designed for proactive law enforcement officers.

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.

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.

Great information. I thought I was doing a good job searching before. Not so true. Now I realize that I missed a lot of dope and guns. Thanks!

Great information that you can’t get from anywhere else. One of the most knowledgeable instructors I’ve ever had. Learned about trap compartments that I had no clue were out there or that I needed to look in that location.
