The best opportunity a police officer has in obtaining a confession is moments after the crime is committed. By conducting an effective patrol interview/interrogation, you deprive the suspect of the opportunity to create a compelling story to explain away their involvement in criminal activity. Furthermore, you force them to commit to a story that in all likelihood will fall apart once you delve further into your investigation.
This course will provide officers with:
Tools to get a suspect to want to talk with an officer.
Techniques that will help the officer determine to a high degree of certainty whether a suspect is being truthful or deceptive.
Steps that must be taken to ensure a legally valid confession is obtained.
Creation of an environment that is conducive to eliciting a confession.
Means to identify verbal and body language that is indicative of deception.
Participants will learn how to break down the barriers of communication that police officers often face when questioning suspects. They will learn techniques that will assist them in obtaining admissions of guilt and ultimately how to illicit a VALID confession while maintaining a safe environment for the officer and the suspect during the interview/interrogation.
