Statement Analysis:
Statements that are given by suspects and witnesses are analyzed using the SCAN (Scientific Content Analysis) method. This technique has revolutionized statement taking, and if done properly, gives much superior and more reliable information. If done incorrectly, the technique can mislead investigators. Statement analysis works very well in all cases, but is used most often in cases of arson, robbery, child abuse, sexual assault, and murder. Like any investigative tool, the ability of the analyst and the quality of the statement limit the technique. Some crown and many defense attorneys have found that a review of trial cases using the SCAN technique has dramatically reduced their court preparation time, as well as focused their direct and cross examinations. We have analyzed well in excess of a thousand statements, and have instructed this technique to hundreds of police investigators across Canada. The statement analysis technique is also effective when used to identify suspects from a pool of persons, a scenario that occurs time and again in business where an internal theft, or series of thefts take place.
