Identify Targets Identify high-risk targets including: –Known trafficking routes –Intelligence information –Similarities to previous seizures –Unusual cargo or traveler for the port Identify

Examine Begin by reviewing documents Conduct an examination Examine

Document Results Document results. Develop a standard method of documenting examinations. Document

Exercise Instructions: 1.Review the data in the next slide. 2.Identify the smuggling patterns or trends. 3.Describe your high-risk targets.
