The Course
The Drug Interdiction course offered by LETTC provides classroom presentations and scenario-based drug training in the interception of narcotics. It outlines programs and techniques utilized to assist narcotic officers and uniformed officers in developing partnerships with the business community in identifying violators who use legitimate businesses, hotels and stash houses to facilitate narcotic trafficking.
The course will outline comprehensive investigative techniques to identify conduct and behavior of the drug violator in various key settings. The program also provides instruction in knock and talks, currency seizures, and the role of the narcotic canine. Practical exercises will be used to reinforce these investigative techniques.
In addition, it will provide legal foundation for the techniques, to include constitutional procedure, search and seizure, and Fourth Amendment issues.
This training is very extensive and complete. Students get a detailed inside look into advanced investigative strategies and techniques, combined with “hands on” interactive role playing sessions which enforces the learning experience.
