 Suggestions/Feedback: 

 • Very interesting class!
 • This class was amazing! I had to idea no idea this type of detecting deception existed.
 • My favorite class so far! Very interesting and cool to look into how people think and can reveal their identity and intentions.
 • Great loved it, thank you. 
 • More than one full day of this. 
 • Absolutely amazing. I was engaged for the entire class amazing work. Loved every second. 
 • The course was excellent.
 • My favorite class so far!! Absolutely fascinating! I could absolutely spend a week in your class. Would love for you to read inmate mail or visit our prison and join in on interviews. I truly want to learn more from you!
 • Great handout/scenarios.
 • This was a wonderful class/training. While I don’t know how much I would be able to use this on my work, I was so grateful to be able to learn about statement analysis. Thank you! 
 • Need additional time especially with class exercises in actual statement analysis. 
 • Was informative but political. Interactive narratives were hard to read because of the way they were formatted. 
 • Having this digital would be more useful for me specifically so I can do notes and highlight. This is interesting for the content of phone call talking and posting social media. Would like to go back through some of the forensic file information of people on Netflix. 
 • Excellent speaker! He provided a wealth of knowledge and experience, but there’s so much more to learn. I enjoyed today’s class and will seek to learn more. 
 • Very good class, it would be nice to get more notes handed out to us. Then on the whiteboard. I like to have things I can look back at.
 • Eye opening experience! The content was terrific through dry. Perhaps group exercise to brainstorm.
 • I only wish it was longer. I could have listened to Peter all day.
 • Would have been interesting if body language deception was touched on a bit. But I’m sure that would be a separate class completely! 
 • This class is awesome as is, I used some of the knowledge I have learned when I was in college. I had fun revisiting human behavior. 
 • This was a really good training. Learning a lot of this information will be very useful with line of work. Like that it was hands on learning. Additional Comments: 
 • Great class loved all the material, stories, and scenarios very interesting information that I have never had training or experience with.
 • Thank you, Phil, for making this a full day. 
 • Very awesome material and absolutely helpful in our work. 
 • I loved this session. This has been my favorite session, so far.
 • Thank you so much Mr. Hyatt! • That was absolutely fantastic! This could easily be a two-day class.
 • Maybe include the actual “911” calls so we can hear them. 
 • This is a great course in truth and deception. The techniques I learned are amazing. I have never had any training in breaking down transcripts. Hopefully I can learn more about this subject matter so I can help my agency. 
 • I really enjoyed this class! The entire course was very intriguing. I plan on passing some of the information to the detectives at work.
 • This was by far my favorite presentation it was so interesting. I could have sat and listen to Peter’s stories and cases for the entire training. 
 • For the 15 months that I’ve been an analyst, this is the most interesting and beneficial class I’ve ever taken. Your teaching method really makes it easy to understand what to look for when detecting deception. The class makes me want to focus my work on behavioral analysis. Taking this class for an entire month would be a blast. Thank you! 
 • Good training. 
 • Thank you for the class. I’m very grateful it was included. 
 • I appreciate Peter pointing out areas where he also learned within the statements.
