Hypnosis, as an investigative and forensic tool, has been utilized by law enforcement in the United States on a constant basis since 1970. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the use of hypnosis in criminal cases. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and most states have upheld convictions IN WHICH hypnosis was utilized by law enforcement officers. Hypnosis is used as a means of refreshing the memory in recalling facts, such as license plate numbers, descriptions of suspects and crime scenes, etc., which the conscious mind has blocked out.
Mr. Boulch the instructor, is the author of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Learning Objects for Investigative and Forensic Hypnosis, as well as authoring sections of the Texas State Hypnosis Certification test for law enforcement officers.
