Very eye opening and informative. Prior to the class, I had no idea of all the hidden places things can be hidden in cars.

As a first year officer wanting to get ahead early with vehicle searches, this course teaches spots that I typically looked over when searching vehicles. The center console had hidden spots that not even my fto showed me.

This class should be taught to brand new officers. Clearing the natural voids in vehicles has helped me greatly with locating contraband. I don’t work in a place where kilos are often found but, even the lower level users, street dealers use these voids to move contraband around towns/cities/counties “safely”.

This is a great basic level search class. I believe every officer who is proactive and frequently searches vehicles, needs to take the class to learn how to properly search common hides.

I have been on patrol for 8 years, I’m a K9 handler, I’ve been to several interdiction classes, worked with the interdiction task force in my spare time, have had a lot of hands on experience. This online class was a good refresher for searching basics. A lot of it I was already aware of, but seeing someone who is very skilled in this field talk about what they check and look for is always good to take in. I also learned different things here and there from watching Jeremey explain things.

I search vehicles frequently but always felt a little concerned about damaging property or that I was missing something in my search. After watching this training I feel a lot more confident and can’t wait to put this training into action!

Great class to learn the basics and fundamentals of searching a vehicle. Open my eyes to the things I’m missing and just overlooking when I’m searching vehicles and places I never thought contraband would be hidden. Great for LEOs entering the interesting in interdiction and just adding to the tool bag.

This is a great on demand course that should be shown to all new officers and used to refresh veteran officers.

I like the on demand format for this course. During the last video I would have liked to see Jeremy do a complete vehicle search clearing the voids just to show on average how long it takes. With that said still a really informative course

Thank you so much Jeremy. Been doing interdiction (mostly city) for years. We were always told that the compartments are for the bigger cities or roads. Hopefully I'll miss less now.
