Description

CARTEL TRAPS — HIDDEN COMPARTMENT TRAINING
Cartel Traps Hidden Compartment Training is a comprehensive one-day classroom course designed to give law enforcement officers the knowledge and techniques needed to conduct more thorough and effective vehicle searches.
The course takes officers beyond a basic vehicle search by teaching them how to systematically identify and clear the natural voids found throughout a vehicle, recognize indicators of aftermarket modifications, and detect sophisticated hidden compartments used to conceal narcotics, currency, weapons, and other contraband.
Students will learn how to recognize tooling, tampering, dimensional inconsistencies, non-factory construction, electronic and manual access systems, and other indicators of concealment. The course breaks down hidden compartments throughout the entire vehicle, including floors, firewalls, rocker panels, dashboards, center consoles, roofs, trunks, cargo areas, engine compartments, and other commonly exploited locations.
Real-world photographs, videos, case studies, and detailed trap-car breakdowns are used throughout the course to show students exactly what these compartments look like and, more importantly, how to recognize the indicators that lead to their discovery.
From commonly overlooked natural voids to highly sophisticated electronically operated compartments, Cartel Traps provides officers with a systematic approach to vehicle searching that can be immediately applied in the field.
Clear the Voids. Know what factory looks like. Stop missing traps.
Training restricted to sworn law enforcement personnel.
