VSA-LIE DETECTION IN INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES

POLYGRAPH Invasive method It cannot be applied without the

knowledge of the subject Cannot be used over a phone

line Cannot analyze previous

interrogations Inconclusive results More costly Analysis only in one location

(one on one)

VSA Non-Invasive method It can be applied without the

knowledge of the subject Can be used over a phone line Can be used with previos

recordings No inconclusive results Less costly Can conduct analysis in multiple

locations

Answer the following questions:

1. How do you know that the person you are hiring is not or has not been involved in fraud, extortion, selling of company information, or is on the borderline of the law?

2. How do you know that your employees are conducting their functions properly and are not involved in criminal circles?

Answer the following questions:

3. In cases of missing money, false currency, alteration of information, and fraud…How do you determine who is involved?Is it only one person or a group or gang?Is someone in your company leaking information?

Answer the following questions:4. How do you determine if critical processes within your company are conducted properly?5. Have you had the need to evaluate an employee because you have certain suspicions?6. How do you evaluate an employee that you do not see? That is not in front of you? Who is in another city or country?

VSA – Working Principle

By analyzing micro-tremors in the vocal chords of spoken responses to specific questions of concern.

This subconscious reaction cannot be controlled, especially when the questioning is done by a trained expert.

VSA - Applications

Personnel Selection. Investigations.

– Frauds– Robbery– Loss of Information

Audits and control of Personnel in critical positions.

VSA - Advantages

The analysis can be conducted:– In person – even without the subject’s

knowledge.– Via telephone lines.– With recent or older recordings.– In remote locations with the subject away from

the VSA unit.

VSA - Advantages Multiple analysis from different locations

simultaneously Visual record is possible with covert

camera Numerical read-out No inconclusive results Immediate results Print-out of the results

VSA-PREPARATION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE

CONTROL QUESTIONS

QUESTIONS OF NO RELEVANCE

QUESTIONS OF RELEVANCE– S. K. Y.-

CONTROL QUESTIONS Are questions to which we know what is the

truthful answer and are used to calibrate the base line level of stress of each subject being interrogated: “Is your name John Smith?”, “Are we in Miami?”, “Were you born in London?”, “Is your wife’s name Jane?”, etc.

QUESTIONS OF NO RELEVANCE

The purpose of these questions is to create a psychological imbalance on a subject who is “prepared” on what to answer to expected questions: “In the last 24 hours, did you attend the hotel gym?”, “Were you at the 8th street McDonald’s this morning between 8:00 and 8:30AM?”, etc.

Relevant Questions These are the questions of interest in the

investigation and we need to use the technique called “S.K.Y.” – S - K - Y– U - N - O– S - O - U– P - W– E– C– T
