METHOD WHICH IS WILDLY SUCCESSFUL."
New Release - Version 2.0
Are you interested in the topic of _interviewing and interrogation_?
If so, you need the information revealed in this innovative approach
to low-confrontational interviewing and interrogation; called FOCUSED
INTERVIEWING, VERSION 2.0.
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 and interrogation 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 or interrogate
is a recidivist....that is, that person will commit crimes multiple
times and will most likely be INTERVIEWED OR INTERROGATED over and
over again.
*
FACT: Trickery, coercion, "in your face" tactics, high-pressure
techniques and other forms of confrontational interviewing and
interrogation 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,
WHICH IS MADE EASY USING THE FOCUSED INTERVIEWING SYSTEM,
VERSION 2.0.
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 interviewing and
interrogation techniques in Basic Instruction.
*
60% of all Police Academies do not teach interviewing and
interrogation techniques at all.
*
Less than 20% of officers nationwide receive any in-service
interviewing and interrogation 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 interviewing and interrogation techniques being
taught to law enforcement officers are inaccurate and non-productive.
_ "I HAVE GONE TO ABOUT EVERY INTERROGATION SCHOOL AROUND. THEY ALL
KIND OF SEEMED LIKE THE SAME OLD THING. I\'VE BEEN A COP, AN
INVESTIGATOR, A FISH font-weight:700"> Have you ever been unsure or
hesitant when you started an interview?
Don't feel bad, in a particular situation, any of us may be somewhat
hesitant to confront a suspect in an interview.
First, let's look at some reasons why you might be hesitant to
interview a suspect in the "real world":
*
Maybe you have bad case facts.
*
Maybe you have a partial suspect identification only.
*
Maybe you have "weak" witnesses or victims to a crime.
*
Maybe you aren't sure there even has been a crime.
*
Maybe you've never had much success as an interviewer.
Whatever the reason, sometimes you may not be 100% confident when
you are starting an interview.
That's not your fault.
Part of the problem is the interviewing and interrogation method we
were taught when we started in this business: it's known as
confrontational interviewing.
"Confrontational interviewing" where we aggressively challenge a
suspect (example: "John, I know you did the burglary") is not possible
in all situations.
The good news is: you don't have to directly challenge anyone in
an interview.
You will soon know how to walk into an interview (where you are
unsure of the case facts) with total confidence, elicit all the
information someone has about the crime and secure admissions and
confessions in a professional manner.
What's more, it's easy, logical and requires no memorization of
"steps."
"AS A FEMALE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, I USED TO STRUGGLE WITH THE
THOUGHT OF INTERVIEWING SOMEONE. I ORDERED FOCUSED INTERVIEWING AND
IMMEDIATELY STARTED USING THE TECHNIQUES. VERY EASY TO USE AND IT JUST
MAKES SENSE. YOU DON\'T HAVE TO \'LEARN\' ANYTHING, YOU JUST HAVE TO
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW. I ENCOURAGE EVERY WOMAN IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT (AND MEN, TOO) TO GET THIS INFO RIGHT NOW. IT\'S MADE ME
COMPLETELY CONFIDANT TO INTERVIEW ANYONE!"

The best approach to interviewing is completely different than what
you may have seen before.
Forget about "confrontational" style interviewing.
Non-confrontational interviewing is more productive, is easier to
learn and is more acceptable to the courts and the public than
confrontational style interviewing.
You see, most people want to tell the truth, at least on a
subconscious level.
All you have to do is figure out how to get them to tell you.
