DEFAMATION, INVASION OF' PRIVACY (FALSE LIGHT), AND INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OFEMOTIONAL DISTRESS

Page 2: Declaration of Jack Trimarco in Support of Motion to ... · DEA Agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico, "Whitewater"; the Dr. Wen Ho Lee Espoinage Case; J.D.L. Odeh Bombing Death; and the

• •1 3. I am a retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent

2 having served 21 years as a member of the "FBI", former U.S.

3 Department of Energy, Polygraph Program Inspector General. I am

4 a member of the Board of Directors and Chairman of the Ethics

5 Committee for the California Association of Polygraph Examiners

6 commonly known as "CAPE".

7 4 . I have taught more than 60 seminars on polygraph

8 examination, interviewing, and interrogation and have conducted

9 training for the following institutions and entities: FBI

10 Academy, CIA, U.S. Attorneys Office, U.S. Department of Justice,

1] INS, the American Polygraph Association (A.P.A.), CAPE, the

12 American Association of Police Polygraphists (A.A.P.P.), the

13 Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DODPI), and numerous

14 other state and federal governmental law enforcement agencies.

15 5. A true and correct copy of my curriculum vitae is

16 attached hereto as Exhibit "A". The curriculum vitae summarizes

17 my professional memberships, my polygraph experience as an

18 expert witness, my polygraph experience as a profession, my work

19 experience, education, employment, polygraph training, areas of

20 expertise, and certain other relevant data with regard to my

21 background experience and qualifications as a polygraph examiner

22 and expert.

23 6. During the course of my professional association, I

24 have received numerous complaints regarding JOHN GROGANand his

25 lack of professionalism, experience, education, and activities

~6 regarding polygraph examinations.~:§

Prior to February 12, 2008, I

Page 3: Declaration of Jack Trimarco in Support of Motion to ... · DEA Agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico, "Whitewater"; the Dr. Wen Ho Lee Espoinage Case; J.D.L. Odeh Bombing Death; and the

• •1 of fraud by the Director of Consumer Affairs within the State of

2 California. I also had been told that the allegations against

3 JOHN GROGANwere of public record whi.ch included a comment that

4 all of his licenses and permits that had been issued to JOHN

5 GROGANby the Bureau of Security and Investigative Services had

6 been revoked as he had been found to have been guilty of fraud,

7 dishonest conduct, and deceit.

8 7 . On or about February 12, 2008, I received a letter

9 from JOSEPH PAOLELLA which contained a number of comments

10 regarding JOHN GROGAN. A true and correct copy of that letter

11 is attached hereto as Exhibit "B R•

12 8. Subsequent to me receiving information regarding

13 Mr. GROGAN, loss of each of his professional licenses due to his

14 fraud, dishonesty, and deceit, and receipt of the letter

15 referred to in paragraph 7 above, I made my opinion known to the

16 radio listeners of Tom Leykis by telephoning the radio show at

17 the request of other respected polygraph examiners and private

18 investigators to respond to an apparent claim by JOHN GROGAN

19 that he was a licensed polygraph operator who had graduated from

20 an accredited polygraph academy.

21 9. I have been in direct contact with the administrative

22 offices of A.P.A., A.A.P.P., and CAPE and have ascertained that

23 although these are three of the most highly accredited polygraph

24 examiner associations in the United States, JOHN GROGAN is not

25 and has not ever been a member of either organization. I amn~6 further informed and believe that JOHN GROGANclaims he is an;.;~

67 accredited polygraph examiner because he accredited himself as~,j

~8 the sole owner of this purported accreditation facility known as./o 38 DECLARATION OF JACK TRIMARCO IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO STRIKE COMPLAINT FOR

•1 Polygraph Examiners of America (PEOA).

•2 10. The purpose of my telephone call to the radio show was

3 to inform the public of my opinion of Mr. GROGAN's true status

4 as a purported polygraph examiner.

5 11. I have noted for some time before the comments I made

6 on the Tom Leykis radio show that Mr. GROGAN has been

1 advertising himself through websites and other various means of

8 marketing as a polygraph examiner and as an honor graduate in an

9 8-week state approved polygraph academy; however, he is not

10 certified by any agency of which I have knowledge other than the

11 company which he owns and manages. The purported state approved

12 polygraph academy has sent a letter (Exhibit "E") to me

13 indicating he did not graduate and therefore could never have

14 been an honor graduate (not polygraph state approved). I am

15 also informed and believe that his claim that he has completed

\6 more than 4,000 examinations is extremely misleading as it

17 implies he has completed more than 4,000 effective polygraph

18 examinations which, to my knowledge, could not be true.

19 12. I obtained a copy of a Declaration of JOHN GROGAN

20 prepared and submitted to the Superior Court of California,

21 County of Ventura which, in pertinent part, claims the

22 curriculum vitae attached thereto is true and correct under

23 penalty of perjury. A copy of that Declaration and the

24 curriculum vitae attached thereto as Exhibit "1" is attached

25 hereto as Exhibit "Cu. The attachment is not true as he does

Re: John Grogan

Dear Mr. Trimarco,

Thepurpose of my school; AmericanCollegeof ForensicStudies,which started in January f2003,..was'to train people interestedin being a private investigatorwith a minor in polygraphtrain' g..'Thetrainingconsistedof2l6-hoursdevoted to private investigationsand l24-hours to basipolygraph.training. That after 12-weeksof schooling,the studenthadthe basic training to b aprivate investigatorand the basic knowledgeof the theory and applicationof polygraphprin iplesto help the studentbecomethoroughlytrainedinvestigator. The coursewas not meant to tra n aperson to be a polygraphexaminerand we did not ofter polygraphtrainingalone.

John Groganofferedto instruct studentsto servesubpoenasas part of the overalltraining in he P.I.field. Mr. Grogan expressedan interestin knowingaboutthe.fundamentalsof the polygraphinstrumentand application. In lieu ofpayinghim'to instructhe asked to sit in on some of thpolygraphcourses;approximatelytwo daysper week. Afterapproximately6-weeksof trainl g, Igave Mr. Groganan "honorary"completioncertificate, I had no idea that he wanted to be anexaminerand go into businessas an examiner. Shortlyafter that, I had to let Mr. Grogango'-, .. ,c. .' '.' ,,- ......-.:. - ','-'. -..->.' .. :'::.:.:<,.'.. .....,.,' .. -. _ .. " _ ..~cause of his "unauthorizedadvances"towlirdirfemalestudents.

• •.Salinas who is a member of the National Polygraph Association and an associate member 0

American Polygraph Association.

John Grogan is a master marketer and has used the Internet (Polygraph Place, etc.) to adve ise his

$99 dollar polygraph examinations. Mr. Grogan is also selling a book purported to be able 0 train a

person to be a trained polygraph examiner and offers to sell them a Limestone computer an show

them how to use it, claiming that's all they really need to know to become a polygraph ex iner and

join his polygraph association. Even though Mr. Grogan has lost his P.1.& P.P.O. license, e is

using an associate Lisa Javoric, who recently received a P.I. license and is a member of CA I, to

front for him on her website to do private investigations and polygraph examinations .

.It should also be noted that he has used 10-20 different locations throughout the country ported

to be his office. A personal check on several of his supposedly offices in Los Angeles, turn d out in

one instance to be a Chinese restaurant on Wilshire Blvd. and another was a hotel in Bever! Hills

with no indication that John Grogan either resided there or had an office in the hotel. It sho d also

be noted that no matter where the alleged offices were located, they all had the same (818)

telephone number.

Jan Tucker, Governor of CALI and others, are also investigating John Grogan who has atte pted on

several occasions to "sell" P.I. licenses for $3,500.00.

If you need any more information regarding John Grogan, please let me know.

Respectfully,
