TOPIC & SPEAKER: Tom Coffey 

Empirical Scoring System Multinomial (ESS-M): Implementing with Confidence 

8 Hours of APA Approved CEU 

This training session integrates practical exercises during eight hours of lecture and discussion of implementation of the Empirical Scoring System - Multinomial (ESS-M). Successful graduates will recognize the benefits of using ESS-M and be able to confidently implement or transition to ESS-M upon return to their polygraph suites. Successful implementation includes being able to write and explain ESS-M reports, being able to identify and use the correct multinomial distribution table, and being able to provide quality control of ESS-M report narratives for oneself or other examiners. This training strongly supports the intent of the American Polygraph Association (APA), American Association of Police Polygraphists (AAPP), and Illinois Polygraph Society (IPS) in promoting widespread adoption of evidence based practices. Attendees will receive digital take-home materials consisting of a copy of the presentation and a MS-Word ESS-M report template. This course may include printed handouts and a graded final exercise.
