aspects of detailed identification, whether it is a physical inspection or one that is only seen in one
dimension. With the demise of law enforcement staff throughout the UK with Stolen Vehicle
experience, the aim of this course is to introduce and train students in a cost effective manner.

This two day course will appeal to a wide range of law enforcement frontline staff. It will also appeal

knowledgeable.”
