Interpreting Non-Verbal Communication to Detect Threat

“Suspicious Activity and Engagement Training!”

21st Century challenges necessitate various interventions to mitigate threats. The ability to recognize and interpret Non-Verbal signals, which signify threat, is a skill all personnel involved in protecting establishments patronized by the public need to possess. The Study and Theory of body language has become popular in recent years because psychologists have been able to understand what we “say” through our bodily gestures and facial expressions, so as to translate our body language revealing its underlying feelings and attitudes.

Jade Communications Applied Communication Centre in partnership with the Center of Non-Verbal Communication has developed this program, which will train participants on how to recognize and interpret suspicious nonverbal signals. Through the Center of Non-Verbal Communications unique model, participants will learn how to evaluate human emotion to know whether someone is being genuine or deceptive.

This specialized Non-Verbal Communication training will focus on Non-Verbal communications or situational awareness training which is being aware of the signs of danger, looking for them with great attention to detail, orienting oneself to the signs, understanding what they mean and finally taking appropriate action.

The Lead Facilitator Carl Maccario has trained over 60,000 law enforcement and security officials in the United States and delivered behavior recognition training to virtually every department of Homeland Security and continues to be a world leading expert in Behaviour Recognition, Evaluating truthfulness and detecting deception, threat through interpreting Nonverbal communication.
