Proven Results

Mark P. Smith at Expert Polygraph Testing has conducted over 5,000 polygraph examinations over his successful career. Below are three sample cases in which his polygraph services cleared the people falsely accused of wrongdoing.

Case One

An individual was arrested and lodged in county jail on a first degree robbery charge. Two eye witnessed picked the individual out of photo line-ups and were “100%” certain he was the assailant. His attorney requested that a polygraph examination be administered by Mark. The accused passed the test prompting police to re-interview the victim. As a result, the actual assailant was arrested and the attorney’s client was released from custody.

Case Two

An individual was arrested on domestic violence-related charges for threatening their former spouse with a handgun. At the time of the arrest the handgun was found in the accused’s vehicle. After passing Mark’s polygraph test the spouse admitted they fabricated the assault and planted the gun in the accused’s vehicle.

Case Three

A county prosecutor's office dismissed 1st degree aggravated sexual assault charges against an individual after agreeing that Mark's polygraph cleared the individual.

How To Spot A Liar

People in all professions are constantly confronted with situations where they need to know the truth. Money, careers, reputations and more are often at risk when we are deceived. Unfortunately, studies repeatedly show that most people are bad lie detectors. We just don't know when people are lying to us. Even some professionals who critically need to know the truth such as judges, prosecutors, police, salespersons, psychologists, psychiatrists and others consistently score no better than chance (50%) in their ability to spot a liar. This training course will discuss:

  • A history of lying and the detection of deception
  • Modern lie detection
  • Listening skills
  • Forensic interviewing
  • The myths of lying debunked
  • How liars beat us
  • How liars are caught

By the end of the training program attendees will know the easiest, most effective way to spot a liar, they will have enhanced listening skills and they will be more successful, productive and effective at their jobs. The instructor is a retired detective, now a private investigator and polygraph examiner, who has interviewed and polygraphed hundreds of suspected liars and the wrongly accused.

Winning the Interviewing War

The ability to conduct an effective and successful interview is the single most important skill a business professional can have. Yet most professionals receive little or no training in this critical area. This training course will provide attendees with the tools necessary to "win the interviewing war." The following concepts will be discussed:

  • Planning your interview
  • Why we are not better interviewers
  • What is your subject thinking
  • Listening to understand
  • How to psychologically influence your subject and gain compliance
  • Theme development and use
  • Determining truthfulness
  • Why people tell the truth

By the end of the training program attendees will be better and more confident interviewers. They will understand the psychological forces at work and utilize them to gain compliance from their subjects. They will obtain more information in less time, thereby becoming more efficient and effective in their positions.

Monsters Among Us - Pedophiles and Child Abuse

Almost every day we hear of a new child sexual abuse scandal. But how many of us know what is behind those scandals? Who are these people who abuse children for sexual gratification? They are teachers, clergy, FBI agents and the guy next door. This graphic and compelling seminar will introduce attendees to the world of pedophiles, examining who they are and why they commit the crimes they do.

But instead of a dry, textbook approach, attendees will hear directly from offenders themselves, through written and audio statements and interviews. What they say will shock you. In addition, some of the literature and paraphernalia possessed and used by pedophiles will be examined first hand.

This is a multi-media presentation utilizes PowerPoint, audio and video tapes. The instructor, a retired detective and polygraph examiner, has spent the last 12 years interviewing and polygraphing sex offenders.
