How Is This Course Different?
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 Using those outdated techniques can be disastrous for not only an innocent person but for you and your agency.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 non-coercive interviewing. Our Modern Interview and Interrogation course delivers. Come learn concepts that are not only legal and ethical but also highly effective at getting to the truth.
