| Interview Techniques (8-hour course) Instructed by Mike Boulch |
Obtaining confessions from individuals can be difficult and sometimes impossible. This course is designed to assist officers in extracting needed information from suspects, victims, and witnesses.
Included in this course is a complete review of the history of interviewing techniques, beginning with the Roman Empire. Skills developed and honed throughout this course include understanding the needs of deceptive people and learning to break down the barriers to confessions. Specific questioning techniques, kinesics, statement content analysis, and handwriting analysis all play major roles in identifying deceptiveness in the interviewee.
The skills obtained from this course will help an investigating officer learn not only how to identify deception, but also how to properly conduct an interview. Moreover, once the officer has developed a solid foundation for effective interviewing techniques, he will be better equipped to bring more criminals to justice.
Because of the sensitivity of the information provided in this course, it will only be available to certified law enforcement officers.
