Research on deception detection in legal contexts has neglected the question of how the use of evidence can affect deception detection accuracy. In this study, police trainees (N = 82) either were or were not trained in strategi-cally using the evidence when interviewing lying or truth telling mock sus-pects (N = 82). The trainees strategies as well as liars and truth tellers counter-strategies were analyzed. Trained interviewers applied different strategies than did untrained. As a consequence of this, liars interviewed by trained interviewers were more inconsistent with the evidence compared to liars interviewed by untrained interviewers. Trained interviewers created and utilized the statement-evidence consistency cue, and obtained a consid-erably higher deception detection accuracy rate (85.4%) than untrained in-terviewers (56.1%).
