Short and sweet! Great on-demand training for the Officers that can’t make it to the in-person training for the time being.

Such an awesome “basic” class. Jeremy does an excellent job reassuring that anyone can search (in depth) cars without worrying about damaging them. He also gives great pointers on things to look for.

This class was incredibly eye-opening and provided valuable insight into techniques that are often overlooked. The instructor did an excellent job emphasizing the critical areas where contraband can be concealed, and the examples truly drove the message home.

I highly recommend this class to anyone in law enforcement—regardless of rank or experience level. The information presented is practical, relevant, and could make all the difference in the field. In my opinion, this class should be mandatory for all law enforcement officers.

I am relatively new to interdiction work. I’ve heard about multiple areas within vehicles that need to be searched, but was never properly taught the methods to searching them and why it’s so important. This video series accomplishes that and emphasizes the importance of how you search so that you don’t miss anything. “The Basics” is incredibly thorough and is a wonderful start for someone looking to begin their journey in interdiction work. I highly recommend it to anyone who is just starting off and seeking to be proactive.

I had no training whatsoever on how to search a car. After taking this on-demand course I’m way more confident in my ability to go out and find contraband.

Great introduction about voids in vehicle, looking back at all the traffic stops I did and being amazed on how much I missed. Didn’t learn this on field training.

Fantastic course. Very concise with easy to understand instructions for searching natural voids in vehicles. Right after the explanations, a demonstration was shown, reinforcing the search technique being taught. I didn’t realize how easy it was to access and view these areas, and immediately starting putting them to use the very next shift. Looking forward to attending in-person classes for further training! I highly recommend this course if you are a patrol-level officer looking to step up your skills in vehicle searching.

This online course was awesome and was full of great information for new cops all the way up to senior folks that need some assistance with searching vehicles beyond looking in the open areas. Highly recommend this class and we need the hidden compartment class brought to Weatherford TX PD!
