The Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) in collaboration with the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) is pleased to announce “Body Language, Threat, and De-escalation” training presented by Behavioral Analysis Training Group.
This class will help criminal justice officers recognize behavioral tells and body language associated with deception in a variety of applications. The topics include body language, communication mindsets, cognitive limitations, psychological aspects of deception, verbal analysis and questioning techniques. 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 today's climate, this is a critical component to law enforcement education
This training is only open to sworn law enforcement officers.
Partial In-service Credit (PIC) for Virginia law enforcement officers will be available for this course.
There is no cost to attend this training, however pre-registration is required.
