Every investigation relies on investigative interviewing as it's main source of information; it is claimed that up to 85% of all information is acquired this way. It follows, therefore, that the time and effort spent on investigations may be kept to a minimum and be more productive by using investigators who are trained to produce the best results from interviews.
Not all questions are equal. Some questions draw only the minimum of information and then there are questions that roll up their sleeves and go to work. These are the questions that trained investigators should ask. Unfortunately, few investigators understand the difference and unknowingly ask the former and miss opportunities to arrive at the truth.
Attendance on this course will spell the end of interviews that seem to go nowhere. Participants will become skilled in the application of an effective, straightforward and structured model of interviewing for obtaining full and honest accounts from suspects, victims and witnesses, with integrity and in accordance with the laws of the land.
The course will benefit all investigating personnel who have responsibility for carrying out interviews of people in relation to criminal or disciplinary offences or for other fact-finding purposes.

The programme comprises two modules, either of which may be Optional.
