What Agencies Say
Fernando Moreira has trained law enforcement, military, and search & rescue personnel since 1995. Here is what they have to say.
"I've been training with Fernando Moreira since 2016 and he remains one of the best tracking instructors I've ever met. With his background as a tracker in Portugal and after joining the search and rescue team in Nevada, he has logged well over 10,000 SAR missions and law enforcement operations. His deep understanding of both combat tracking and the psychology of lost persons is unmatched. I own about 40 tracking books, yet Fernando still teaches unique techniques I've never seen elsewhere. His holistic approach focuses on reading micro-impressions, not just obvious macro sign, turning good trailers into true trackers. I've helped him teach classes around California and am always surprised how many self-proclaimed trackers are really just trailers. Fernando's methods and real-world experience set him apart. If you want serious, high-level tracking instruction, Fernando is the real deal. Highly recommended."
"I have taken several tracking classes from Fernando Moreira and I can confidently say he is one of the most exceptional mantrackers I have encountered in my law enforcement career. Over the years, I've attended hundreds of training courses, but this was my first experience learning from a professional mantracker — and it exceeded all expectations. Fernando's expertise, instruction, and real-world knowledge make this class one of the best I have ever taken. His ability to teach and demonstrate tracking skills is truly impressive. I highly recommend his courses to law enforcement agencies across the country. This training is invaluable and stands out as one of the finest I've experienced."
"I sponsor a class for my team here in California. Fernando's class paid off the first time out. The terrain was very rugged — lots of rocks — and we were able to track eight different suspects through the area for four miles up a steep embankment, where we located a very large grow site with thousands of marijuana plants. We were able to assault the camp and got the suspects in custody. I recommend all of Fernando's classes to all agencies."
"I work as a tracker for DHS full-time and I have attended several classes from Fernando. He is one of the best trackers I've ever seen. This man has a heart of gold — he loves teaching, and above all, he knows his stuff well. His movements, his style as a tracker, are unbelievable. Fernando breaks the tracks apart, looking at small details and reading the tracks to get a direction of travel I've never seen before, and I track every day. I highly recommend Fernando's classes to anyone, including law enforcement and military."
"I am a veteran working for DHS and an ex-Marine. I have taken tracking classes in the past, but nothing like Fernando's tactical tracking course. He is far and away one of the best trackers in the country. I recommend his classes to all law enforcement officers."
"I have been in Arizona at the border for the last 15 years tracking cartels coming across from Mexico. I have taken several classes from Fernando — myself and my team. After I took his first class, three days later it paid off. We were able to track a group of immigrants with Border Patrol on scene, who took over. Fernando is very professional and one of the best trackers I've ever seen. I recommend his training to every law enforcement officer and everyone who wants to learn. You will never look at the ground the same way again."
"I am a combat vet who served several tours overseas. I have taken several classes from Fernando. He is one of the best combat trackers I've ever seen — this man is a professional, the real deal. He showed us moves I'd never seen before as a tracker and scout. This man is the best in the business. I trust him with my life. I recommend his classes to all military branches."
