NJLPIA MEMBER AND AUTHOR CHRIS ROGAN

 TO SPEAK AT THE JUNE MEETING.

                                                  OBSERVATION UNDER PRESSURE - CHRIS ROGAN

Don’t miss the NJLPIA meeting on Tuesday, June 9th, 2026, featuring investigator and author Chris Rogan presenting Observation Under Pressure. Drawing from real-world law enforcement and investigative experience, Chris will share practical techniques for reading behavioral shifts, identifying deception, and improving investigative interviews. This promises to be an engaging and highly applicable presentation for investigators at every level.

Observation Under Pressure is not a theory book. It is a field guide built from real investigations, interviews, and high stakes encounters. The book focuses on how behavior shifts under pressure, how to identify those shifts in real time, and how to use observation to guide questioning, strategy, and decision making. Rather than relying on gimmicks or scripted techniques, it presents a structured approach to reading people through what they do, not just what they say. This is the same mindset and methodology Chris applies in his investigative work, now presented in a way that attorneys, investigators, and professionals in high stakes fields can immediately put to use.

During his presentation, Chris will walk attendees through the core principles covered in the book, including how to read behavioral shifts in real time, how to structure questioning to surface deception, and how to apply a disciplined observation based approach in investigative and professional settings. The session is designed to be practical and immediately applicable, drawing directly from his experience in law enforcement and private investigations.

CHRIS ROGAN:  Chris Rogan is the founder of Shore Points Investigations, a New Jersey based investigative firm specializing in surveillance, litigation support, and complex residency verification cases. A retired Detective Sergeant with over a decade of law enforcement experience, including twelve years as a detective, Chris has conducted hundreds of interviews and investigations involving high pressure, real world scenarios.  Chris is a recipient of the Medal of Valor from the 200 Club of Monmouth County, recognized for his actions in the line of duty.

His work today focuses on providing attorneys and private clients with clear, defensible evidence supported by detailed reporting and documented findings. His approach is built on disciplined observation, pattern recognition, and the ability to identify behavioral shifts under pressure before they are verbalized.

He is the author of Observation Under Pressure, a practical guide built from real investigative experience, focused on reading behavior, controlling interviews, and understanding how people reveal information before they ever speak.

NJLPIA Joins Tri-State Northeast Compact With NY & CT!

The New Jersey Licensed Private Investigators Association is proud to announce its participation in the new Northeast Compact, a cooperative agreement between NJLPIA, the Association of Licensed Detectives of New York State (ALDONYS), and the Connecticut Private Investigators Association (CPIA).

This tri-state initiative creates a Compact Affiliate Membership (CAM) program, giving NJLPIA members access to training, meetings, networking opportunities, and shared communications across all three associations for a reduced fee of $50 per state. Full voting rights remain with each member’s home association, but CAM membership greatly expands professional resources and regional collaboration.

The Northeast Compact strengthens our industry, enhances interstate cooperation, and opens the door to future expansion as additional associations join.

More details and membership links will be posted soon on the NJLPIA website and a complete overview will be presented at the December meeting.
