Guard force performance on deception detection reflects supervision, not instruction. A control on the wider corporate security practice agenda that is never exercised is an assumption, not a defence. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the corporate security practice discipline and under-invest in testing it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about deception detection. Participants leave with a method for this aspect of corporate security practice, not a set of opinions about it. Applied research in corporate security practice consistently shows that early structure around this area of corporate security practice reduces downstream rework. The content is relevant to those who own deception detection and to those who are held accountable for its results. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this strand of corporate security practice and prepares them for it. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the corporate security practice discipline sustainable.
