How to get confessions from people 'magically' without them even knowing what you are doing - using this interviewing and interrogation method

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.

The Focused Interviewing system of interview and interrogation

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 does law enforcement continue to use 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.

This skill is so important in law enforcement that it should be emphasized over all other areas of training.

Sadly, most training academies and law enforcement agencies can't afford to have high-priced interviewing training programs, so they skimp in this critical area.

They are making a big mistake.

Look how the world has changed in recent years.

For example, members of our military are now taking part in interviewing suspects all over the world as a part of our war against terrorism.

Now, more than ever, we all need the skills at hand to effectively interview people in the field.

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.

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.

To become better interviewers, we must first become better listeners.

What we have to do (as interviewers) is to find hidden "keys" in people's personalities which will allow us to "unlock the truth."

You'll soon learn how to talk with anyone, put them at ease, get to know what makes them "tick" and use that information to discover the truth.

In order to gain the truth, the people being interviewed must feel as though the interviewer understands them and cares about them.

Once that happens, their trust level escalates until they can't wait to confess.

Remember, to be an effective interviewer doesn't just mean obtaining more admissions and confessions (although you'll certainly do that) but also means becoming a better listener for victims and witnesses, too!
