| Canadian police agencies use both sworn and civilian personnel to deliver behavioural science services. These personnel are trained in various aspects of the behavioural sciences including criminal profiling, geographic profiling, threat assessment, forensic psychiatry, polygraphy, and violent crime linkage analysis. Although each of these techniques may be utilized individually, they become much more powerful investigative tools when used in conjunction with the others. These techniques, their application, and ongoing research initiatives will be discussed. |
