Lie Detectors UK Hosts An Advanced Polygraph Course for UK Examiners
Between March 12, 2018 and March 14, 2018, PEAK CATC and Jason Hubble, the president of Lie Detectors – UK collaborated to provide advanced polygraph training to private examiners living in the United Kingdom. Of the approximate twenty-five private examiners located in the United Kingdom. The following ten participated:
Dr. Keith Ashcroft – England
Ms. Sian Devine – Ireland
Mr. Ian Duffield – England
Mr. Patrick Duffy – Ireland
Mr. Guy Heseltine – England
Mr. Jason Hubble – England
Mr. Antony Keeves – England
Ms. Patti Musicaro – England
Ms. Norma Phoenix – England
Mr. Michael Rumble – England
This course was the first collaboration between PEAK CATC and private examiners living in the United Kingdom and provided these examiners with much needed training for those examiners who cannot travel to the United States on an annual basis to obtain continuing education. It consisted of three days of intensive advanced instruction and is believed to be the first time a polygraph training school has ever traveled to England for the purpose of providing advanced training in current polygraph methodology. Mr. Jason Hubble of Lie Detectors – UK arranged for a venue to conduct this training and coordinated with the examiners attending to assist with lodging.
Overall, the three days were intensive and the attendees engaged in classroom presentations and lively classroom interaction to obtain Continuing Education Units regarding topics ranging from recent practices in Test Data Analysis; Use of computer assisted scoring algorithms and measurement tools association with respiration and plethysmograph components; Instruction in the use of Directed Lies as an alternative to Probable Lie Comparison Questions; Interview Route Maps; to The Utah ZCT; and the use of the Directed Lie Screening Technique and the AFMGQT/LEPET Screening Techniques as multiple issue examinations in a successive hurdles approach.
The listed attendees are to be commended for their dedication to the polygraph profession and desire for continuing education. Their participation in scheduling three full days away from their polygraph practices to obtain this needed training is a reflection of their desire to grow and remain current with the best practices related to the ever-evolving field of polygraphy.
Thank you Jason for your initiative in coordinating this course and for your hospitality. Thank you attendees for your enthusiastic participation. You have my admiration for your participation and dedication to Polygraph Profession.
