From Gary:
"The latest technique for determining truth and deception comes in the form of Forensic Statement Analysis. It is a proven process wherein a person's own written and/or transcribed words are systematically analyzed. We rely on their words to unwittingly betray even the most cunning of minds.

Clients include, FBI, DEA, State and local police as well as the military and private work place. It has proven successful in cases of rape, robbery, drugs, murder and in cases of threat assessments.

In certain cases a person's own words are transposed into numbers and after utilizing a simple mathematic formula the numbers determine truth and deception. It’s a must see and useful to not only law enforcement but in the private sector as well."
