We teach interviewing that works.
We teach police investigators how to interview and interrogate criminal suspects.
A suspect interview in a criminal case is challenging. Your investigator’s skills in the room will make sure that the innocent go free and the guilty are held to account. We will teach your investigators how to prepare for interviews, how to conduct interviews, and how to interrogate if it’s called for.
We currently instruct a 2 day, 20 hour course called Fundamentals of Interview and Interrogation. 20 hours of TCOLE credit (2029) will be submitted upon course completion.
When we designed the class, we noticed that other classes focused on either gimmicky tricks or highbrow concepts. These things were fun to learn but didn’t address the actual needs of working detectives/investigators.
We asked, “What works? What are the actual needs of working investigators and detectives?” We designed this two day, 20 hour class that gives the detective everything they need to get started. We cover basics like custodial issues, questioning tactics, deception detection, accusatory interrogation and court room testimony. The class is built around scenarios and practicals. Each person that attends will have a lot of reps on the specific techniques. We explain it. We discuss real life, recent examples from our own work, and we have the students then do it.
Some of our recent students wrote: “This class is essential for success in investigations.” “Should be mandatory for every single detective.” “Both detectives were passionate about the subject and it showed in the presentation.”
