The Paladin Center will be hosting a Two Day Advanced Concealed Compartment Course being presented by Palestra Group International. This advanced course is comprised of lecture based learning and practical application covering both vehicle concealed compartments and residential concealed compartments. This course has been designed to provide the attendee with the tools to recognize, identify and subsequently interdict the criminal transportation and concealment of illicit narcotics, illegal firearms and the proceeds of crime. The course reveals the tactics, methodology and practices used by narcotics traffickers to conceal contraband and dissuade officers from furthering investigations at the advanced level.

Using a stepped approach, this course is designed to take the attendee through a step by step criminal interdiction investigation from the development of probable cause to the search and successful seizure of contraband.

This stepped approach guarantees that the legality of the search and seizure while protecting the defendant’s rights are preserved. This approach also ensures that the subsequent search and seizure of illicit contraband can support a successful prosecution.

Through the use of classroom instruction, group discussion and practical application during vehicle searches the attendee will be instructed in the proven techniques used to successfully interdict the transportation of contraband over the interstate as well local highways and by-ways.
