Welcome to the third of a series of three one hour webinars led by Bruce Jacobs, owner of the company Behavioral Analysis and Security Consultants.

What are the clues someone gives when they’re lying to an Officer? Being aware of micro expressions and changes in language can tip an officer off that someone is engaging in deceptive behavior.

This webinar series (3 one-hour programs) will introduce you to Behavioral and Statement Analysis and will help you recognize deceptive behavior and the scientifically proven “leakage of truth”. These techniques will give you a tremendous advantage when talking to suspects and individuals.
