“Dr. Stacy Cecchet is the forensic and operational psychologist embedded in the Washington State ICAC TF, housed primarily at the Seattle Police Department but with offices across the state. Dr. Stacy comes highly recommended not only by myself but other investigators and command staff across the state. With her operational and field experience, she truly is an essential member of the task force. One of Dr. Stacy’s most unique and utilized skills is her ability to provide real-time criminal behavioral analysis during suspect interviews. This has proven invaluable numerous times during investigative interviews, in guiding the questions, tone, and body language needed in eliciting admissions from suspected pedophiles committing crimes against children.”
