Investigative Profiling & Behavioral Analysis in Orange County, CA

When credibility matters and the stakes are high, behavioral science meets traditional investigation expertise. OC Private Investigators delivers federal-level behavioral analysis trained by world-renowned psychologist Dr. Paul Ekman to serve insurance carriers, law firms, corporate clients, and private individuals throughout Orange County.

What Is Behavioral Analysis in Private Investigation?

Behavioral analysis examines how people communicate across five distinct channels to detect deception and assess credibility with scientific precision. Unlike traditional surveillance that observes external actions, our 5-Channel Communication System evaluates facial expressions, body language, voice patterns, verbal style, and verbal content to reveal what standard observation cannot capture.

This methodology, historically available only to federal law enforcement agencies, provides court-defensible evidence that strengthens legal cases, corporate inquiries, and sensitive private matters.

The 5-Channel Communication System

Our investigative approach analyzes all five channels simultaneously to identify inconsistencies and deception indicators:

Facial Expressions - Micro-expressions reveal concealed emotions through involuntary facial movements, trained observation using Dr. Ekman's Facial Action Coding System.

Body Language - Postural shifts, gestures, and comfort indicators establish behavioral baselines and identify stress responses during questioning.

Voice Patterns - Pitch, tone, volume changes, speech rate variations, and vocal hesitations provide insight into emotional states and truthfulness.

Verbal Style - Language structure, pronoun usage patterns, and temporal distancing distinguish constructed narratives from authentic accounts.

Verbal Content - Statement analysis examines consistency, logical progression, and specific versus vague details to assess credibility.
