With vehicle theft on the rise and its strong connections to serious and organised crime, this specialised training is designed to enhance police officers' awareness and skills in vehicle identification. This training equips officers with the basic techniques needed to identify stolen vehicles and recognise signs of criminal tampering, all within the context of their day-to-day law enforcement duties.
This training introduces vehicle identification in a controlled environment, making it an ideal way for officers to learn and practice essential identification techniques.

Learn how to identify suspicious vehicles and understand the profiles that may indicate criminal activity.
Gain the essential skills for conducting effective roadside checks, focusing on key identification points.
Understand the critical dating features of vehicles that can help verify their authenticity.
Learn the best practices for preserving evidence during vehicle inspections to ensure it can be used effectively in investigations.
