This
program was produced for use as a training
aid by customs officers, border patrol and drug enforcement officers who
regularly examine luggage for hidden narcotics. In recent years, the
smuggling of large quantities of powdered narcotics in personal luggage
become a major problem for law enforcement in North America and Europe.
The average officer is unaware at how skilled the drug smuggler has
become in creating secret compartments in suitcases, garment bags and
other luggage. Securesearch Inc. has worked with major customs and
police agencies in Canada and in the U.S.A. to determine how luggage is
being reconstructed by smugglers. They rework the luggage to provide
single and multi-compartmented hiding places that can be difficult to
spot, especially in a cursory search at an airport or in a vehicle
check. We, at our training aids division, have recreated a number of
these techniques, using several types of luggage. This program takes the
officer through a search of each piece, showing how by a rapid but
thorough examination- visual and manual- these hidden compartments can
be located and opened for removal of evidence. The compartments have
been filled with simulated powdered narcotics.
Video sequences show:
-
a
pat-down of the exterior of the luggage
-
removal of clothing/
content
-
visual and manual search of
linings
-
pockets and alterations to the
luggage
-
weight comparisons between luggage without drugs and pieces
containing narcotics in hidden locations
-
an actual simulation of
filling a suitcase holding hundreds of tiny compartments with
simulated narcotics.
This
program is sure to open the eyes of the new
officer and the experienced one as well.
