What are students are saying:
If you are like most officers, you can’t stand those courses where a dry instructor clicks through a PowerPoint. Rest assured, there is no “Death by PowerPoint” here! We only use instructors who are not only experts in conducting interviews but also expert instructors. While we’re incredibly lucky to have them as instructors, this course isn’t about the instructor, it’s about you. We’re here to build your skills and your career. You are the hero in this story. Our instructors will be your guides.

How Is This Course Different?
Our Modern Interview and Interrogation is based on the latest science-based interviewing techniques. Our course is the culmination of years of research and development. Our course designers worked with subject-matter experts both in and outside of the United States as well as justice advocates and interview experts. The result is a new type of training course that builds on the proven techniques of the past while avoiding those implicated in causing false confessions. Instead of complicated multi-step techniques, we teach simple to understand, highly practical concepts that out students can begin using immediately. Instead, of “Death by Power Point”, our presentation is highly active and engaging. The result is a well-researched, modern, and fun training course for today’s professional law enforcement officer.
Legal Considerations
You Need to Know:
Some antiquated interviewing techniques have been implicated as being coercive and potentially causing false confessions. Using those outdated techniques can be disastrous for not only an innocent person but for you and your agency. In the U.S., new laws such as California’s AB 2644 will require law enforcement officers to be trained in techniques that avoid “psychologically manipulative interrogation tactics”. Our Modern Interview and Interrogation course has always and will continue to avoid teaching such tactics (that’s not something our competitors can claim.) If you are ready to learn modern techniques that are not only legal but also highly effective, get registered today.
