There are many different interviewing techniques available to help obtain the facts and discover the truth. Some techniques, such as those incorporated into our Investigative Interviewing Course, focus on the importance of planning and structure of an interview as well as an appreciation of body language and behaviour to collect information from a suspect.
Another technique, outlined in our SCAN Statement Analysis Course, focuses on the statements obtained from suspects and how the language that they use can show you the truth.
Knowledge of cognitive skills, for example how the human mind works with regard to memory and perception, is another method of investigative interviewing which allows the interviewer to get details of events that a witness would not normally remember. Our Cognitive Investigative Training explores this technique further.
