About this skill
The linked reference topic follows a bag through its main compartment, pockets and outer shell. It describes the owner opening the bag and presenting the contents so the officer can observe each area.
Use the demonstration to discuss the sequence and the communication between officer and visitor. A trainer can pause at a transition and ask which part of the bag is being checked, what is visible and what question comes next.
The companion Bag and property checks lesson provides an overview for the same subject. Together, the two videos support a session that moves from the general process to a visual example and supervised discussion.
What to focus on
- Observe the order of the bag check.
- Review how the owner is asked to present the contents.
- Discuss visibility as the check moves between compartments.
- Compare the demonstration with your site procedure.
When this is useful
A supervised practical refresher on bag searches.
