Operations and Investigations
The course is a five day
(36 hour) training program designed for

investigators, narcotics investigators and patrol officers who
participate in narcotics investigations. The course curriculum will
detail the various
methods of Methamphetamine manufacturing that are prominent
among today's meth traffickers.
The various components of the different cooks will
be examined and detailed, preparing investigators and patrol
officers how to locate and safely investigate
clandestine meth labs.
Students will learn the physical attributes of the
"tweaker" lifestyle
and how to identify tweakers and their roles in
manufacturing Methamphetamine. Investigators
will be able to identify the
various chemicals used in the
production of Methamphetamine and the safe guards that
should be
taken when conducting Methamphetamine investigations.
Instructors will also cover how to safely
conduct chemical reverses,
Methamphetamine
conspiracy cases and precursor chemical investigations.
Club Drugs are still sweeping through night clubs and college campuses across
the nation. Ecstasy, GHB and Ketamine are the three main threats in the Rave and Club culture. Officers will
learn the physical and psychological effects
that club drugs are having on
today's society. The curriculum will cover the Rave subculture and the
history of the underground Rave movement. Instructors will detail how
to safely conduct undercover club/Rave investigations,
club drug reverses and buy/busts.
The curriculum will cover the booming indoor hydroponic
Marijuana
grow house industry. Subjects have discovered the
lucrative
indoor grow business and they are spreading across the U.S to
compete with Canadian marijuana
manufacturers. Marijuana is the largest money making crop
in the U.S. Investigators will learn
investigative techniques used to locate and
how to obtain probable cause to secure search warrants on grow
house locations. Investigators will be shown the equipment
that is
commonly used to cultivate
marijuana in
clandestine operations and how to conduct
surveillances on
subjects and
businesses that
cater to indoor grow subjects.

during undercover
narcotics and vice
investigations. Using undercover storefronts provide

the general public by taking narcotics
and vice
related investigations off of the street.
Case studies on long term
street level undercover crack cocaine
investigations will be covered during the conference.
Investigators will be shown various methods used to
