How to interview people in a friendly, professional manner

Are you interested in the topic of interviewing?

If so, you need the information revealed in this innovative approach to interviewing people.

Every professional in the field of law enforcement, corrections, military law enforcement and investigations, drug enforcement, theft prevention, corporate security, personal protection and national security needs to know how to interview witnesses, suspects, victims and others.

Here are some grim facts:

*

The predominant interviewing methodology utilized today is categorized as accusatory or confrontational.

*

The accusatory, confrontational approach is the least productive in terms of results.

*

It is also the easiest to attack in court and viewed the least favorably among jurors.

Why do we continue to teach methods that don't work well?

*

FACT: Almost every criminal you will ever interview is a recidivist....that is, that person will commit crimes multiple times and will most likely be interviewed over and over again.

*

FACT: Trickery, coercion, "in your face" tactics, high-pressure techniques and other forms of confrontational interviewing may only work the FIRST time someone is interviewed.

*

FACT: Non-confrontational interviewing will work over and over again!

The most effective technique is narrative style interviewing, like Focused Interviewing.

But experienced police officers and investigators already know how to interview people, right? Maybe not...

Consider: *

The overall success rate of officers gaining admissions and/or confessions is less than 40%

*

Most Law Enforcement Academies average 4 hours of interview techniques in Basic Instruction.

*

60% of all Police Academies do not teach interviewing techniques at all.

*

Less than 20% of officers nationwide receive any in-service interviewing instruction.

*

When asked to identify lies by watching body language, officers fare no better than chance.

*

Yet, Police Officers put blind faith in their ability to identify deception using body language.

*

At least 50% of the interview techniques being taught to law enforcement officers are inaccurate and non-productive.
