About The Event
We'll be joined by three experts on super recognition:
Kenneth Long, chief executive of the International Association of Behaviour Detection and Analysis (IABDA)
Prof Josh Davis, Professor in Applied Psychology, University of Greenwich
Chris Tritton, Senior Sergeant in the Queensland Police Service, Australia
They will talk about what super recognition is, the psychological basis behind it, how it is being used in policing and security, what it's like to be a super recogniser and whether people can be trained to be super recognisers.
Prof Davis commented: "Organisations failing to employ suitably skilled super-recognisers in human identity verification critical roles are likely to be underperforming."
