The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS), in partnership with the Northeast Counterdrug Training Center (NCTC) and the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) is pleased to announce a three (3) day session of Detecting Misleading Behaviors. In many instances, law enforcement officers have limited opportunities to interview witnesses to narcotic-related crimes or interrogate suspects that are under arrest. It is crucial that officers obtain a truthful and accurate account of what occurred. Officers must understand and identify when witnesses or suspects are being truthful or being deceptive. This course will teach officers how to reliably recognize and understand verbal and non-verbal cues of deception. Officers will also learn how to identify deception in written statements. Identifying verbal and non-verbal indicators of deception is a necessary talent for today’s law enforcement officers involved in investigating narcotic-related crimes. The instructor will illustrate various verbal and nonverbal indicators of deception using video-recorded interviews of actual witnesses and suspects. Practical scenarios will be used to reinforce the lecture.
This training is being offered to sworn law enforcement, corrections, campus police officers and approved military personnel. Agency identification may be required.
Partial In-service Credit (PIC) for Virginia law enforcement officers will be available.
Transportation, lodging and meals are the responsibility of the participant.
Sign in begins at 7:30 a.m.
Training begins at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at 4:00 p.m.
