BRUCE JACOBS – KEYNOTE SPEAKER

“LEAKING THE TRUTH”

Signs of deceptive behavior and statement analysis

Bruce Jacobs is a 30-year retired veteran of the Manitowoc Police Department in Wisconsin and a Licensed Private Investigator. He is considered an expert witness in all five channels of communication.  He has worked for ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) where he has many arrests of pedophiles.  He has performed an estimated 10.000 interviews over his career.  He has been involved in a wide range of cases including homicide, robbery, burglary, rape, battery and internet crimes against children.  His career includes:18 years as an SRO, 25 years as a DARE Officer, and has served on many boards and committees.  In addition to his career with the Manitowoc Police Department and his work as a Board member, he started and owned Advantage Driving School LLC. 

Bruce has a bachelor's degree in administration of justice and has specific training and certification in many fields including Micro Expressions, Behavioral Analysis and Statement Analysis, Scientific Content Analysis, CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design), Security Surveys, Workplace Violence Prevention and Scams.  Over the past 35 years, he has made presentations on these topics to help educate others to be aware of their surroundings and not to become a victim.  These real life topics will not only help keep you safe but to know what others are thinking as well.   

Imagine being able to know what people are really thinking and feeling, or what their words really mean.  Imagine being able to use scientifically proven techniques and clues to get to the truth in both your personal or professional life.

Behavior and language are in our DNA. Our brains tell us we are not supposed to lie. When we do, micro expressions, body gestures, voice/verbiage changes and baseline behaviors are all affected. This is due to a conflict between cognitive thinking and emotional feelings, which causes leakage or clues of deception. Humans are unable to control most of these reactions. With the right training, you can begin to spot the clues of deception or true emotion. These are critical skills to recognize what witnesses, suspects, co-workers or even salesmen are really thinking and feeling.

Objectives: Be familiar with the top 5 indicators. Develop a standard of routine questioning to recognize baseline behaviors.  Prepare questions which prompt an emotional response.  Put it all together to recognize deceptive behaviors vs true emotion through micro expressions, body gestures, voice inflections and the verbiage people choose.
