Reading People: Decoding Body Language and Criminal Behavior

Reading People: Decoding Body Language and Criminal Behavior
Hosted by
Law Enforcement Officers Regional Training Commission
Course Description: This is one of the most practical seminars you will ever attend as a law enforcement officer. At its core, police work is a human behavior profession. Your job is to successfully assess the emotional and physical state of a person. The only way to accomplish that is to become a master at controlling, redirecting and influencing other people’s behavior which begins with Reading People. This seminar will teach officers how to better evaluate body language by accurately reading conscious and unconscious cues, spotting lies and detecting true deception.
Some Topics Covered:
– How are YOU coming across: Aggressive? Uncaring? Accusatory? Empathetic?
– Learn consciously what the unconscious already knows
– The signs: will you see what the body is saying?
– Body parts: the eyes, the hands, the face and the feet
– The key to active listening
