This course trains personnel to quickly detect hidden compartments in vehicles
used to smuggle drugs, weapons, money, and other illegal commodities through
expert-led presentations, videos, and real-life case studies. Attendees will be
equipped with the skills to systematically search vehicles to disrupt and hinder
criminal organizations’ ability to transport contraband.
Participants learn proven techniques and understand counter-measures that are
being applied by smugglers to hinder governmental efforts by defeating X-ray
equipment, density detection devices, fiber scopes, as well as K-9 units.
