This class opened my eyes to Narco Cultura and helped me see the difference between actual culture and bias based on folk lore in policing when it comes to Narco Cultura and the Mexican culture

Victor’s class was an introduction into Mexican Cartels and “Narco Cultura” on steroids. This was hands down one of the most informative classes I have ever taken in my career.

By far the most in depth training I’ve attended related to Mexican cartels and investigations. You can definitely Vic is a subject matter expert on all topics brought up in class. I highly recommend this class to anyone in criminal investigations, criminal interdiction, K9 teams, or narcotics.

I have taken a class under a similar title before and it was nothing like this. The instructor was insanely knowledgeable as well as engaging. He made the information applicable whether or not we have seen these trends in our area yet or not. I truly enjoyed this class and Victor was top notch! Thank you!
