Our Organisation

BTAQ Consulting was founded by John Matus, a highly experienced former Federal Agent who trained and operated internationally in the field of Behavioural Detection. He developed and managed Behavioural Detection training for the Australian Federal Police, and worked extensively in the field, training and operationally implementing Behavioural Detection techniques. John's drive for continuously improving Behavioural Detection capabilities led him to form BTAQ Consulting, developing specialised Behavioural Detection and Questioning courses which have successfully been used by a diverse range of clients throughout Australia and New Zealand.
