I’ve been going to interdiction classes since I started law enforcement. I felt a missing piece of the puzzle in my interdiction work specifically in identifying modified compartments. This class is that missing piece for those interdictors out there in my shoes.

This class was very helpful for beginning to advance levels of interdiction work. Jeremy did a great job at explaining parts of the vehicle where dope could be hidden to someone that isn’t privy of vehicle anatomy.

This two day class was full of great information, obs techniques, and the instructors were clearly well versed and experienced with the material. Our group that attended this course all work at the southern border on Military Orders and came away with plenty of new insights that will help us on future missions. I would attend this class again and would recommend to any law enforcement agency.

Coming into this class I thought I knew how to look for hidden compartments or just where drugs were hidden. This class made me re think how I approach a vehicle. I learned to take a moment and just inspect the vehicle in and out and look for prior removal of parts by looking at tooling. It really makes your job easier because you’re taking the process one step at a time

The hands on portion of the class was extremely beneficial. The structure was great, being led through at the beginning and being shown how to search properly. And then given free reign to get familiar with the vehicles of your choosing.
