Informative! A lot of info for Officers to apply at the basic patrol level. While some material is advanced, the course provides a general understanding of what to look for in vehicles suspected of being load cars.

This course was incredibly informative and had a lot of great information regarding searching techniques and criminal techniques for hiding narcotics and weapons within vehicles. The instructor showed a lot of great case studies from traffic stops he had which help show how the hides are put into vehicles.

I thought the class was very informative & the instructor is very knowledgeable. There is so much more than a basic search that is very often overlooked. I’m looking forward to putting these new learned skills into action.

I’ve impatiently waited for this course since it was posted. My expectations of this class was very high.

I can honestly say that Jeremy’s knowledge and ability to teach tactics/techniques in order to identify and access traps exceeded my expectations substantially.

This course was very informative and is highly recommended for not only proactive cops working major highways, but as well as those being proactive in their towns/counties.

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!
