i-Sight to Host Free Webinar on Deception Detecting Techniques for Investigators

April 17, 2012 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
i-Sight Software has announced that it will host a free webinar outlining how to detect deception during investigation interviews. The webinar, "Detecting Deception: Investigation Interviewing Skills," will be held on Thursday April 26th at 2pm EDT and will be led by expert investigator, author, instructor and CFE, Don Rabon.

The consequences of missing the mark during investigation interviews can be dire, no matter who is doing them. A poorly conducted interrogation can spark a lawsuit, cause an innocent person to lose a job or go to jail, or put a company into bankruptcy. So it's important that those who are required to do interviews have the weapons they need to do them well. One of the most important weapons available to an investigator is the ability to detect deception.

"Everybody wants to know how to spot a liar, but the ability to detect deception is an especially important skill for investigators," says Joe Gerard VP of Sales and Marketing at i-Sight. "We are thrilled to have Don Rabon on board for this webinar and are looking forward to hearing his strategies for getting at the truth. His extensive background in investigations and experience with high-level interrogations make him the ideal expert to share this kind of in-depth knowledge," says Gerard.

"Once the interviewee begins to talk, the interviewer must be able to detect deception," says Rabon. "The form of the deception and the specific elements of deception have to be identified." These are the skills investigators need to conduct effective investigations. "And like any other skill, the more we practice, the better we get," he says.

During the webinar, Rabon will teach attendees:

  • How to identify the forms of the deception
  • How to determine where and how an interviewee is being deceptive
  • The importance of words and how the language we use changes when we lie
  • How to tell the difference between what subjects say and what they really mean
