DESIGNED FOR: This course is designed for uniformed state and local
law enforcement officials who are interested in enhancing their
criminal interdiction knowledge and traffic enforcement activities to
serve as an effective means to deter and detect criminal/drug
trafficking behavior.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Criminal Interdiction a function of many law
enforcement personnel normal duties is rarely taught at academies and
in-service training. The course is designed to address the many
issues that are encountered during criminal/drug interdiction patrol
stops. This course will prepare law enforcement personnel to look
beyond the initial traffic stop to detect and apprehend all types of
criminals/drug smugglers that are using our highways, streets and
rural roads.
The course will cover officer safety issues in great detail. Safety
is a primaryconsideration during a vehicle/drug interdiction
stop. Almost any approach to a vehicle is potentially
dangerous. What may seem like a standard traffic stop for a
violation by the driver, may instead be a stop of a vehicle occupied
by individuals who have committed or are in the process of committing
a criminal act. It is estimated that four out of five crimes
involve mobility. (Source: NHTSA) It should also be noted that well
over 90 percent of drug smuggling involves vehicles. The officer’s
intentions are a great concern to criminals caught in this
situation. Their reaction, if any, to the stop is highly
unpredictable. Past incidents, which are highly documented in the
history of criminal/drug interdiction patrol stops, clearly
demonstrate that there are inherent risks in traffic stops. The
attendee will be taught to think about having a personal defense
strategy, to avoid injury and to stay alive.
This course also concentrates on improving the attendees
conversational and observational skills to facilitate the development
of reasonable suspicion/probable cause during a criminal/drug
interdiction patrol stop. Of the many law enforcement activities that
must be performed, the roadside interview truly approaches the
category of an art. It takes talent, a natural inclination to
perform the task well, study, and practice to develop the basic
skills, as well as continual self-analysis and cultivation of talents
and skills in the questioning process. The attendee will be shown
how to adapt their own personality to the various situations and the
personalities of the people whom they will encounter during the
roadside interview process. The attendee will be taught how to develop
a style that is distinctive and then how to improve it through studied
experience. The course will show the attendee the importance of
establishing rapport, as well as becoming a better
listener. Attendees will be taught specific techniques that detect
criminal/drug trafficking activity and how to view every roadside
interview in totality. Through the analyzing of actual traffic stop
videos the attendee will be shown that no single behavior standing
alone proves anything during the traffic stop encounter. The method
of instruction for this section will involve the implementation of
various video clips from actual criminal/drug interdiction patrol
stops that are designed to show the teaching points and encourage
class discussion.
The attendee will be taught with a step-by-step approach on how to
identify and locate manual, electronically controlled aftermarket
compartments in passenger motor vehicles that are widely used today by
Transnational Criminal Organizations (Drug Trafficking
Organizations).
Upon successful completion of this course, attendees will have an
in-depth knowledge of the proper working techniques of Criminal Patrol
and Drug Interdiction.
