Description

Course Description: The Law Enforcement Body Language and Deception Detection course aim to enhance the overall understanding of body language from a law enforcement perspective. The topics covered in this course are specifically designed to equip criminal justice officers with valuable skills in recognizing and interpreting body language cues to improve communication, anticipate and de-escalate violent encounters, and effectively detect deception. The course will also focus on the importance of documenting observations accurately in official reports. Target Audience: This course is tailored for the following law enforcement professionals: 1. Patrol Officers 2. Investigators 3. School Resource Officers 4. Correctional Officers 5. Agency Trainers Course Objectives: By the end of the course, students will be able to: 1. Recognize and interpret general body language cues for better communication with individuals they encounter during their duties. 2. Identify behaviors that may indicate the possibility of violent encounters in advance, enabling them to take appropriate preventive measures. 3. Develop the ability to detect signs of deception in suspects and witnesses, aiding in the investigative process. 4. Acquire de-escalation techniques to manage hostile situations effectively and minimize potential harm to all parties involved. 5. Understand how accurate and detailed documentation of observations in official reports can play a crucial role in legal proceedings. Method of Instruction: The course will be conducted in a participative, lecture-style format, supported by audio-visual presentations. The instructors will engage students actively, encouraging discussion, and sharing real-life scenarios to illustrate concepts effectively. This interactive approach ensures a more engaging and practical learning experience for the participants. We will be shortening the deception section to behavioral indicators only and adding a de-escalation section. We feel given todays climate, this is a critical component to law enforcement education.
