Master the critical skills of covert vehicle surveillance and containment with VanPelt Consulting’s elite Vehicle-Borne Operations: Covert to Contact course. Designed exclusively for law enforcement professionals, this advanced training prepares officers for high-stakes surveillance, covert tracking, and Vehicle Containment Techniques (VCT)—a proven method for neutralizing violent criminals and preventing dangerous pursuits.
This intensive three-day program focuses on real-world tactics used in urban and rural environments, teaching officers how to track suspects while remaining undetected and execute vehicle takedowns with precision and control.
• Covert Vehicle Surveillance: Master the art of following a suspect vehicle discreetly while blending into the environment. Learn how to maintain visual contact without being detected, even in high-density urban areas.
• Electronic Surveillance Applications: Gain insight into modern surveillance tools and how to effectively monitor suspect vehicles using real-world case studies.
• Dismounted Surveillance Techniques: Understand how to transition from vehicle-based surveillance to tracking a suspect on foot while remaining undetected.
• Vehicle Containment Techniques (VCT): Learn how to execute precision containment maneuvers that physically restrict a suspect vehicle’s movement, eliminating the need for high-speed pursuits, fewer officers involved shootings with violent suspects, and reducing risks to the public.
• Shooting Around Vehicles – Develop firearm proficiency in and around vehicles with live-fire drills.
• Scenario-Based Training with Role Players – Reinforce skills with immersive, real-world mission execution.
• Exclusive Night Operation – Put your skills to the test in an added real-world training scenario on Night 2.
Our instructors are seasoned professionals with direct operational experience, having conducted:
✔ Over 1,000 real-world suspect surveillances in high-threat areas.
✔ Approximately 100 Vehicle Containment Takedowns (VCT) on violent felony suspects.
✔ A four-month surveillance operation tracking a serial murder suspect targeting ATM guards at 100+ yards—ultimately leading to his capture.
This case, along with other high-profile operations, has been documented in a published book, showcasing the proven effectiveness of our methods.
This course is designed for law enforcement professionals who conduct surveillance, fugitive apprehension, counter-criminal operations, or protective security details. It is highly recommended for:
• SWAT & Tactical Teams
• Criminal Intelligence Units
• Federal, State, and Local Law Enforcement Agencies
• Special Operations & Investigative Units

Feedback from our last VCT Course at The Ranch TX:
“Top-notch instructors with real-world experience.”
This was one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. The instructors brought real-world application and were willing to answer every question with transparency and depth.
“The most effective tactic I’ve seen for neutralizing threats.”
VCT gives officers a way to contain suspects without turning them into a mobile threat. This tactic flips the script and saves lives—both ours and theirs.
“Hands-down, the best training environment I’ve ever experienced.”
From the facilities to the resources and instruction, everything was dialed in. Truly an elite-level course.
“This course made me rethink everything.”
At first, I was skeptical. But the deeper we got, the more I realized this tactic solves real-world problems our current SOPs don’t address.
