This class was eye opening. I had a opinion that was molded about Mexican culture and heritage. After this class I will be able to distinguish between what is narco culture and what is truly religion. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a true understanding of what is evidence and what will get you some new case law.

Please take this class if you are interested in narcotic investigation or even highway interdiction, everyone doing this type of work should have this class under there belt. class definitely opened my eyes to the misconceptions and biases police have. I now feel more confident with understanding the differences between Mexican Christianity and even Narco culture.
Don’t make the mistake of confusing actual religion with criminal activity
