COURSE CONTENT: The current landscape of interview and interrogation training has changed rapidly in the last several years. Departments that are not adapting are getting left behind. Newly published research by the High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG) regarding enhanced-interrogation techniques clearly shows many universally held techniques used by law enforcement are not the most effective way to get to the truth. The CTK Group’s 3-Day Interview & Interrogation Course seeks to train officers and investigators to be comfortable using a cutting edge and common-sense game plan that incorporates evidence based interview and interrogation methods. The instructors will work with the students to implement a researched-based approach that considers the individual’s decisions to confess, utilizes the Cognitive Interview, and employs guilt-induction.

 

Throughout the Course, the instructors will intentionally make use of the full spectrum of adult learning techniques, including: engaging lectures; group interaction; an open environment where spontaneous comments and questions are encouraged; professional PowerPoint presentations; impromptu whiteboard discussions; live demonstrations by instructors; video analysis of actual interviews and interrogations; and practical exercises with both instructors and peers. The CTK Group’s interview & interrogation game plan is comprehensively embodied in the “Baseball Diamond” – a recognizable and memorable visual provided to each officer near the beginning of the Course that serves as a quick reference for the guiding principles and general flow of successful interviews and interrogations.
