Title: "Liars in Public Safety: Case Studies of Deception"
Abstract
Public safety employees are expected to have and display the morals of their profession
and are often held to a higher ethical standard than the community they serve. Organizational
and
occupational licensing mandates require public safety employees to be truthful in
word and deed; however, that is not always the case. This paper will examine the use
of deception by public
safety employees in one organization during internal investigations of drug use. Linguistic
insight into deception, characteristics of liars, and outcomes in the cases are scrutinized.
Suggestions for investigative improvement are offered and additional research indicators
are presented.
