Great class! He was able to relay some things I should be looking for that I have seen in the past and had no idea what it was. He breaks it down simply to ensure it is understood and is happy to answer any follow up questions

Jeremy puts on an outstanding class. Detailed without being cumbersome. Enthusiastic without being obnoxious. Great content regardless of how experienced you are as a student. I wish I had this class earlier in my career.

Jeremy puts on a class that teaches the most basic steps to vehicle searches, to what to look for in a high level DTO vehicle containing a compartment. Jeremy does an excellent job breaking down how to clear the natural voids in a vehicle, to tooling and tampering and breaking down each individual section on a vehicle. Compared to other interdiction classes, you get real body cam footage of vehicle stops that happened as early as yesterday, and up to date trends and types of vehicles that are currently out on the highways and roadways, being utilized to smuggle criminal contraband. Wether your a interdiction cop, or city cop, Take this class so you don’t miss something on a search when it counts most!

This class is top notch and a must attend for not only any interdiction cop, but every proactive cop in general! Jeremy goes over basic to advanced hides, concealments and compartments. His experience shines in this course and it is amazing to see very recent stops and case studies.

Class was absolutely phenomenal!! Such great knowledge specific to vehicles and probably the best and only class to go in depth on compartments and vehicle searches. Interdiction guys, this class is a must, detectives, patrol, traffic, anybody. This class will help you hit kilos, or find that ghost gun the gangster stashed in a factory void. I cannot recommend this class more. Instructor is vetted as one of the best in the nation at his tradecraft and it’s long overdue that he’s been given the opportunity to spread his knowledge.

This was an awesome class to attend. Extremely informative and showed me that there's way more to searching a car. I would have never thought to look in some of the places that he talked about as well as looking for compartments that have been built in. I feel like I learned alot in this class and now know what to look for the next time I search a car.
