Brad has delivered presentations across the United States and internationally to agencies seeking to enhance their ability to detect deception, improve interviewing techniques, and elicit truthful disclosures. He holds a master's degree in criminology and was honored as the U.S. Secret Service Special Agent of the Year for his outstanding contributions to combating crimes against children. Brad is currently a Special Agent with the Army Criminal Investigative Division where he teaches investigative interview techniques at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.
