Description

Smugglers, Inc.® 2.0 is a proprietary, tradecraft-focused course built from over two decades of operational interdiction experience. Unlike traditional highway drug interdiction programs, this 10-hour course exposes officers to the real-world tactics, deception techniques, and clandestine behavior used by high-level smuggling groups operating across North America.
Developed and delivered by the interdiction subject matter experts at Triple I Solutions, this course dives deep into the structure, recruitment, movement, and concealment strategies used by smuggling operatives. Participants will learn how to detect clandestine tradecraft during roadside encounters, identify behavioral deception during interviews, and articulate
their observations for both investigative and courtroom purposes. Course content is rooted in lived case experience—not statistics—and reinforced through field-proven strategies, casestudy analysis, and interactive discussion. Officers will leave with sharper instincts, practical tools, and courtroom- defensible methods to dismantle complex smuggling operations at every level.

The course was extremely beneficial! I would highly recommend this course to any experience level within interdiction. Shawn does a great job of breaking down each aspect of smuggling, and makes it very easy to comprehend. You don’t need to be a high level interdiction officer, or someone with hundreds of hours of training to come to this class. The topics taught were unique to Shawn’s experience and understanding of DTO. Again, I would highly recommend this course to anyone!
