Really enjoyed the class. Although there is a lot of material regarding religion it helped clarify some of the commonly misinterpreted information that I have heard before.

This class was absolutely amazing!!! Victor is obviously an expert in this field and has a unique ability to share his insights and knowledge. All LE needs to attend this class to better understand this topic. A fire hose of information from the first minute. I know this will help me on the road.

This class helps with understanding not only the narco culture but also helps eliminate the idea that all religious items are Narco related. Learning the history about the culture.
