Vehicle Born Operations – Covert to Contact / Law Enforcement ONLY
- By: VanPelt Consulting
- Start Date: 09/15/2025
- End Date: 09/17/2025
* Law Enforcement Only * TCOLE ACCREDITED *
Vehicle surveillance is designed to follow a suspect vehicle without being detected, while trailing through major cities or rural areas. This course is designed to teach the art of following another person while essentially hiding in plain sight. Instructors also have extensive experience in electronic surveillance of suspect vehicles which will be discussed during this course. Sometimes a suspect leaves his vehicle behind but must still be followed by someone who can blend with any environment they are confronted with. Surveillance is the first step to completing a successful Vehicle Containment Technique ( VCT).
Vehicle Containment Technique (VCT) is designed to take down violent criminals, and to prevent vehicle pursuits. Students will learn how to use the element of surprise and properly timed violence of action to take down violent felony suspects. The Vehicle Containment Technique is designed to physically restrict the movement of the suspect vehicle by simultaneously striking it from multiple sides, thereby preventing a vehicle pursuit. As a result, this tactic will also reduce the risk to the public.
The instructors teaching this course have conducted approximately 60 VCTs on violent suspects in the Houston area, as well as conducted surveillance on over 1,000 suspects in different areas of Houston. They are experts who have trained for hundreds of hours on these tactics to perfect their outcomes.
