The Non-Confrontational Investigative Interviewing Seminar includes the three basic course and one day advanced course. It is designed to teach and reinforce the sound fundamentals of the interview and interrogation process for the investigator, homicide detective, major crimes task force member, special agent, or other law enforcement professional. Participants will learn a broad range of research-based methods and proprietary tools to conduct more effective interviews and interrogations, resulting in identifying the truth more efficiently and with less resistance. Attendees will learn the importance of rapport in investigative interviews and how to apply these tools in difficult conversations. Principles of honesty, empathy, autonomy, and the ability for the interviewer to react appropriately to resistance will all be discussed. The instructor will also highlight the risk of relying on non-verbal behavior as an indicator of deception, while focusing on other indicators including verifiable facts and increasing cognitive load. The instructor will train attendees on multiple methods including the Fact Gathering Interview, Cognitive Interview, Participatory Method and the WZ Non-Confrontational Method while also introducing the P.E.A.C.E. Model. Instruction includes a comprehensive overview of a variety of non-confrontational interview and interrogation techniques to obtain actionable information from witnesses, suspects, and victims. The student will learn to project empathy, manage resistance, and assess credibility. Videos of actual interviews and interrogations will be presented, analyzed, and discussed. This program incorporates proven successful techniques in the field with academic research to provide attendees with practical, research-based concepts to tackle any investigation. The additional one day advanced workshop utilizes practical exercises, modern techniques and evidence-based principles to enhance the law enforcement officer’s ability to obtain actionable intelligence. The purpose of the course is to offer participants an opportunity to practice the techniques in a workshop environment. The techniques discussed in this program will have application in all types of investigative interviews an individual conducts where truthfulness is critical. This interactive workshop allows participants to work through actual case studies applying techniques taught by the instructor in real-world situations.
