The seminar will cover Tactical Dialogue techniques in which police or security officers ask innocuous questions and look for subconscious responses or tells that indicate trouble.

Behavioral Detection includes learning how to spot the individual who seems to be oblivious to surroundings, taking orders on a cell phone or is out of step with surrounding activity.

"While rail stations and airports gets most of the attention, city and town police will benefit from knowing the latest anti-terror tactics," says Todd McGhee, founder of Protecting the Homeland Innovations, LLC, who created the program.

Says McGhee, "Behavioral Detection and Tactical Dialogue revive the lost art of policing – when the cop on the corner knew when something in the neighborhood just didn't look right.
