Although I may never deal with the tier of smuggling that would use the sophistication of the traps shown, the I feel confident in being able to identify them should I happen across one. This is all due to Jeremy's class based off his experience and knowledge of traps and the detailed presentation he put together. If you've ever felt like you "just missed it", or don't really know where or what to look for, them you need to take this class and up your search game!

The class is very well balanced between videos, pictures and lecture. Jeremy is very knowledgeable and I appreciated that his information was up to date and not videos from 20 years ago.

First class actually learning how to effectively search a vehicle! So much information that’s invaluable to anyone searching vehicles. Jeremy has so much energy teaching this information as he is genuinely passionate about his work and wants you the student to be successful. Jeremy’s breaks down each compartment and how to effectively locate each. A very complex topic is presented in such a way that you should never be intimidated on how to locate the hides.
