Customs and border agencies face mounting pressure to intercept illicit narcotics and enforce trade compliance in real time. From finding trace drug residues in vehicles, mail, and cargo to verifying bulk chemical shipments that may be deliberately mislabeled to evade VAT, tariff, or controlled-precursor scrutiny, the operational demands at ports of entry are complex and growing.
Bridge the gap between trace interdiction and bulk chemical verification; two workflows that increasingly converge at modern ports of entry.
This webinar introduces a layered screening strategy that combines trace-level narcotics interdiction with rapid verification of bulk chemicals. Attendees will learn how an integrated workflow can improve interdiction outcomes, accelerate inspection decisions, and strengthen documentation for enforcement and compliance actions.
You’ll hear directly from a former user and current trainer of the MX908, who will share how trace-level detection and field identification are helping teams uncover hidden narcotics in operational environments, supporting faster targeting, safer handling decisions, and more efficient escalation to confirmatory lab workflows when required.
The session will also highlight VipIR and its Smart Spectral Processing (SSP): a next-generation algorithm that fuses Raman and FTIR data to deliver rapid, high-confidence identification of bulk substances, including materials that are intentionally mislabeled. We’ll discuss how bulk verification supports precursor identification, reduces misclassification risk, and can improve tariff/VAT and trade compliance workflows by enabling inspectors to validate the true identity of declared chemicals and align enforcement actions accordingly.
Support enforcement decisions with higher-confidence field results when shipments are mis-declared, substituted, or dual-use.
Designed for customs agents, border security personnel, and trade compliance professionals, this session will show how technology-enabled workflows are helping agencies move from reactive to proactive, intelligence-led screening without slowing throughput at the port.
In 2003, Jason was selected to participate in Operations in Columbia targeting cocaine laboratories in an effort to identify manufacturing practices and chemicals in order to create a system used to determine the cartels of origin for large global cocaine seizures
In 2012, Jason also assumed the duties of the Division’s Primary Firearms coordinator, responsible for the ammunition and firearms assigned to the Division, as well as creating and delivering related firearms and tactical training.
Following his retirement in September of 2019, Jason became a contract instructor for Federal Resources, now Noble, before coming onboard with 908 Devices in May of 2021, where he currently serves as the Federal Law Enforcement Customer Success Manager and Senior Field Trainer.
