Difficult Suspect Interviewing Skills Training Course
(Advanced Investigative Interviewing)
Three-day course - 6 students only on each course
How does it work?
The difficult suspect interviewing course is based on the only one accredited by the National Crime Faculty of Great Britain. Investigators know that there are occasionally some interview situations where standard methods are not fully effective. 'No comment' answers or silence not only slow down the investigation but can frustrate and irritate the investigator.
This course provides detailed interview knowledge, skills, confidence and self-awareness. It covers a range of vital skills in addition to planning, interview structure and behavioural psychology - Conversation management and listening skills, and especially managing deception, hostility and silence.
These are all powerful weapons in the investigator's armoury, and this is the course where even the most hardened and experienced interviewers learn new skills.
Like all our courses, the difficult suspect interviewing course includes guidance on meeting the toughest ethical, legal and moral challenges.
Who should attend?
The training course is particularly suitable for protracted information gathering interviews, especially of customers, clients, members of the public or employees suspected of fraud or criminal or disciplinary activity. We would recommend students who attended the Investigative Interviewing Skills course, undertake this course for further development of skills gained. It is also wholly appropriate for experienced interviewers.
