2-Day Workshop · 24–25 Sep 2026 · Amara Singapore
Experienced suspects rehearse their stories. What they cannot rehearse is the full pattern of verbal, linguistic, and non-verbal behaviour underneath. This 2-day workshop trains you to read that pattern — with structured frameworks that stand up to operational and legal scrutiny.

What Past Participants Say
"This deception detection course transformed how we conduct interviews. Our officers now recognise behavioural cues with far greater accuracy and confidence."
"The modules on verbal and non-verbal analysis were exceptionally useful. Our frontline teams immediately applied these techniques during operational questioning."
"The structured behavioural frameworks and cognitive-load strategies have significantly enhanced our interrogation capability. Highly relevant for complex investigations."
"Clear, scientific, and extremely practical. The course provides tools that help differentiate stress, avoidance, and actual deception in high-stakes scenarios."
The Problem
Modern subjects are coached, rehearsed, and composed. Traditional questioning alone no longer settles the question of credibility — and getting it wrong has consequences that follow the case downstream.
Experienced subjects prepare elaborate cover stories and suppress the obvious tells that intuition-based training tells you to watch for. Rehearsal removes the surface signals — but it cannot suppress everything.
Relying on one signal — a gaze aversion, a pause, a fidget — creates false positives and missed detections. Deception leaks across verbal and non-verbal channels at once. You have to read them together, not one at a time.
A hunch you cannot explain is difficult to escalate, record, or justify to others. A structured behavioural assessment lets you articulate what you observed and why it matters — turning an instinct into an observation you can act on and document.
About This Workshop
Competent investigators still miss deception — not from lack of attention, but because the reliable signals sit in channels most training never covers: cognitive load, baseline deviation, linguistic distancing, and behavioural clusters read together.
This specialised 2-day programme teaches you to identify what subjects cannot control, using validated techniques. It integrates PEACE, FAIR, and cognitive interviewing principles with live simulations, video case analysis, and real operational scenarios — and it is built for Singapore's enforcement environment, compliant with local legal and procedural standards.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Prior investigative experience is helpful but not required. Officers in compliance, audit, and HR misconduct roles find the frameworks directly applicable to their own interviews and assessments.
Programme Outline
Each module builds on the last. By Day 2 you are applying a complete, integrated behavioural assessment framework in live interview conditions — not a collection of isolated techniques.
Why This Workshop Is Different
The common failure in this field is teaching body language in isolation, or statement analysis in isolation. Deception Detection is built around integrated, multi-channel assessment — and around the honesty about limits that this audience rightly expects.
What You'll Gain
This workshop is measured by operational improvement: fewer false positives, more defensible conclusions, and structured assessment you can repeat consistently across cases.
Read a subject's normal patterns first, so you can identify the deviations that actually warrant attention — instead of reacting to isolated behaviours.
Spot pronoun distancing, evasive language, temporal inconsistency, and fabrication markers in real-time speech, even in rehearsed accounts.
Read fleeting facial expressions and body-language clusters that reveal emotional states a subject is actively working to conceal.
Separate anxiety, uncertainty, and avoidance from active deception — the distinction that eliminates the false positives which undermine investigations.
Combine verbal, linguistic, and non-verbal signals into a single weighted assessment, using structured frameworks that hold up under scrutiny.
Document a structured, legally sound rationale for your assessment — the kind that withstands procedural and legal challenge downstream.
Your Trainer
Your trainer brings three decades of operational and instructional experience across Singapore's most demanding security and enforcement institutions — having built investigative capability at the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Singapore Armed Forces, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, and across multiple ASEAN enforcement agencies.
Every framework in this programme has been stress-tested in live operational environments, from serious crime investigation to high-stakes border security. Participants consistently note his ability to translate complex behavioural science into tools that work under real interview-room pressure.
With thousands of officers trained across the public and private sectors, and content refined continuously on real-world feedback, this is instruction built on accumulated field wisdom — not a curriculum assembled from research alone.
"The programme is not about catching people out. It is about giving you the analytical clarity to know — with far greater confidence — when the truth is not being told." — Program Director, Maitre Allianz
