Reviews for this course
Out of the 7 years I have never seen so much visual display. The exhibits and exercises helped. The videos, photos, and music helps understand the involvement of TCOs.
It’s important for LE who did not grow up but works around Mexicans to take this class so they can determine what is “innocent” and what should be “looked at more”.
Attending the vigilance project Mexican cartels & Drug trafficking training was an eye Opener and tons of great information provided well designed training.
Excellent class for LE, analysts and prosecutors. Learn what are and are not elements of interest in developing a case. I learned more in this training than I have in over 20 years in this field. Well worth the time.
Victor opens your mind to the Mexican Culture showing the common misconceptions between what is Mexican and religious culture versus Narco Cultura. Everyone needs to take this class.
Second time taking this class and Victor doesn’t disappoint. Victor is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he teaches.
This is my second time taking this class. Both times were very informative and I learned something new each time. I personally have used the material taught in class out in the field and it has proven itself to be extremely useful.
Highly recommended class especially working in the border regions.
Breakdown more detail of Santa Muerte and what is considered drug cultura icons
Hands down, the best training I’ve taken.
As a hispanic individual who is first generation in the United States with my parents being immigrants, this helped me understand more about my culture, and also about what is around me, criminal and non criminal.
Great class very informative.
