Traffic enforcement is one of the most challenging aspects of law
enforcement. All traffic stops are unpredictable situations that can lead to a
simple warning or citation to the apprehension of violent and dangerous
suspects. Unlike many criminal patrol/drug interdiction courses, we do not
solely focus on "Highway drug interdiction". Our Criminal Patrol/Drug
Interdiction course gives the student the whole package. The officer will
learn how to detect all types of criminals on traffic stops to include drug and
contraband smuggling.
Let's face it, most officers do not have the opportunity to strictly work an
interstate or major highway. We take this into consideration as our course
discusses the criminal element as a whole as well as drug smuggling.
Officers attending our course are encouraged to seek and apprehend
suspects committing all types of criminal activity. Most of these stops occur
within a city or county during routine stops. Officers are taught the
importance of the assessment process of any criminal patrol stop is the
interaction between them and the person they have stopped. The officer will
learn an ethical approach to working criminal patrol/drug interdiction. The
officer is exposed to the fact that treating all persons with dignity and respect
is the core to a successful criminal patrol endeavor.
The course is inundated with actual traffic stop video clips showing the
detection of all types of criminals through traffic enforcement. The course
also contains post seizure videos showing actual confessions by suspects.

This individual fled as we tried to stop him for
merely speeding (routine stop). Unknown to us,
he had just committed Capital Murder, stabbing
to death a resident and robbing them a couple of
hours earlier. The vehicle and all the contents
belonged to the victim. We discovered the crime
scene of the unreported murder by sending local
police to the victim's residence of which we
obtained from the insurance card in the car.
Perfect example of what criminal patrol really is
about!
