Understanding the Santa Muerte Occult

Great class, great information. Teaches the attention to detail on what is needed for this particular type of investigations. Instructor provides information on not being bias , as most classes and instructors are still providing this type of stereotype of all Saints (“Indicators”) are criminal related.

This class was able to teach the differents in actual narco culture and religion. It changed views I had previously had in regards to the saints and Santa murte. It helped give correct information on the subjects.

This course was very informative and opens my eyes to a lot of this stuff I have seen in the past during patrol. This class got me thinking and excited for the future with everything I’ve learned. It was a lot of information but it starts coming together on the last day. Great and thankful for this class!

The class is great to learn all the history behind what these people we come across are actually displaying when we see their symbols. It’s huge to be able to understand when someone is displaying something that is cultural and religious.

Course was very knowledgeable. It would really help if it will be 5 days.

The instructor is very well knowledgeable, keeps the class interesting and provides visuals that help with learning.

This training will allow you to differentiate from simple culture, religion, etc from actual criminal activity. This training can save your life by training you to recognize symbols used by now foreign terrorist organizations.

Amazing class learned so much and retained so much about Narco Culture in a short amount of time. 100% recommended

Excellent excellent class highly recommend. 2nd time taking this class and learned about the new trends of the drug trafficking world and how they have developed from the first training. Definitely taking it again. Thank you!

I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to advance their career in law enforcement especially when it comes to drug enforcement.

Valuable information that will be useful in your career in law enforcement!

Definitely a must go to class, it opened my eyes up so much to all of the items of interest that were in my face and never noticed because I did not know! Will definitely attend again if given the opportunity.

This was a very knowledgeable course and I’m very satisfied with what I have learned I would recommend this class to all my fellow law enforcement officers

I highly recommend this training, I thought I knew religion and Mexican culture, but it turned out I didn’t . Victor will explain everything in detail , Victor was well prepared. Don’t miss out, I encourage you guys to attend his training.

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.

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.
