ViCLAS & Forensic Polygraph Examinations Explained

Retired Sudbury Detective Sergeant Jordan Buchanan joins 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association to speak about his service with Sudbury Police and his secondment to OPP GHQ working with the early start up of the Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System, known as the ViCLAS, in the 1990's. He also touches on his experience as a Forensic Polygraph Examiner, and his newly released fictional novel "Past Ghosts Echoed" that is based on real cases and policing in Sudbury. Some of the themes of the cases in the book relate to an unsolved line of duty death of a police officer, using DNA to solve a cold case and a biker gang investigation.
