Effective search techniques are taught for all areas of the vehicle. This course teaches methods suspects utilize to defeat traditional search techniques used by law enforcement.

Participants will learn pre-search objectives, officer safety, pre-planning and preparation relative to conducting vehicle searches. Attendees will also gain an understanding of the common officer pitfalls associated with vehicle contraband searches.

Students will also learn to detect sophisticated electrically operated hidden compartments. Participants will also learn methods suspects are utilizing to defeat K-9 searches as well as hi-tech equipment such as x-ray and density detection devices.
