… then the average class time is 4 hours.

• Detection of deception skills can actually DECREASE after attending some interview & interrogation training courses

… because many courses fail to address “myths” about deception.

• Most courses ignore any scientific research on deception behaviors…

they often perpetuate some of very same “myths.”

• Participants often don’t get to practice their skills using actual cases and interrogation video

… as a result interview & interrogation skills rarely improve.

… skills rarely improve without the student identifying and correcting their weaknesses.

• Our course content relies on established research literature. The truth is…
  Recent research observations of interview & interrogation training programs found that most courses never discuss social science research findings about deception and interview & interrogation.
  
• You will be attending a training program that will address the myths about detection of deception.
  
  You’ll be surprised to learn…
  Current training programs not only ignore the myths, many of them teach those same myths as reliable signs of deception.
  
• As one of our students you will get plenty of practice analyzing statements and video clips. What you need to know is…
  Courses that strictly use lecture format have been shown not to improve students’ performance in the interview room and in some cases, their skill level even drops after training.
  
• Our class participants get consistent and timely feedback from their instructors.
  
  What you should know…
  Results based learning is improved when the instructors actively interact with the students, encourage participation and give informed, knowledgeable responses to questions.
• During your training you will spend time on the credibility assessment of victims and witnesses and how to facilitate their cooperation and subsequent testimony.
  
  Don’t overlook the fact that...
  Conducting full and thorough interviews of “all” individuals in every case and getting cooperation and testimony in trial from victims and witnesses contributes more to a successful case than another other investigative activity. Nearly all current training courses focus only on the suspect interview and interrogation.
