LSAT Investigative Statement Analysis

"I have been a student and instructor of linguistic statement analysis since 1998. LSAT is an incredibly interesting and valuable advanced investigative tool that all law enforcement, private investigation and corporate security should be educated in.

I have the honor of meeting and instructing several thousand highly-skilled investigators across the U.S. and abroad."

He is a member of the teaching staff of P.A.T.C., (the Public Agency Training Council), the Ohio Police Officer Training Academy in London OH, and is a member of the National Association of Investigative Specialists. Course Objectives: Investigative Statement Analysis is a discipline that is highly effective in the detection of deception, truthfulness and identification of hidden information in a subject’s written or spoken statements.

LSAT involves examining the word choice, structure and content of a subject’s statement to determine whether it is truthful or deceptive as opposed to the traditional emotional method of rationalizing the events in the subject’s story.
