Detection of Deception

The Detection of Deception course is a proprietary, interactive module based on proven intelligence-gathering techniques, and is designed to teach participants to detect deception in all forms of communication. All behaviors that participants are taught to recognize are cross-cultural and gender-neutral, so these techniques are effective in all parts of the world. Participants learn to identify verbal and non-verbal behaviors indicative of deception or lack of confidence, enabling them to focus on areas of concern during their interviews. Participants also learn how to incorporate their detection of deception skills into their existing interviewing and information-collection styles and methods.

Critical Interviewing

The module on Critical Interviewing focuses on improving the participant’s information-collection skill level. The module teaches participants how to better prepare and strategize for their interviews, and how to formulate questions that are most likely to achieve success in obtaining the information being sought. Participants are also taught how to create a conducive interview environment, and how to project a professional demeanor that facilitates the disclosure of information.

Elicitation of Information

Our Elicitation of Information module is an advanced class that further develops a participant’s ability to collect accurate information. The course provides participants with a low-key means of gathering information from an interviewee who lacks candor or is unwilling to divulge certain information. The participant learns a non-coercive, responsible approach that maintains cordiality and a positive impression of the interviewer.

Red Envelope Group Exercise

The Red Envelope Group Exercise is a team-based, real-time activity designed to further develop skills in detecting deception and critical interviewing in a friendly environment. In this unscripted exercise, participants solve a simulated crime in a live setting. This creative and popular advanced module helps participants identify individual strengths and weaknesses in areas ranging from the development of interview strategy and question formulation, to the actual interviewing of "suspects." The exercise is followed by an exhaustive debrief in which key learning points are reinforced.
