This fast-paced, interactive two (2)- day seminar focuses on understanding the crime scene from a behavioral perspective and then taking that valuable understanding directly into the interrogation room. What can be learned from the crime scene becomes truly powerful when a skilled investigator uses it to narrow down their pool of suspects through the interview and interrogation process. Crime scenes have a "psychological fingerprint" as well as physical evidence, and in this course, the student will learn the skills necessary to use both in the one-on-one, face-to-face interrogation of potential suspects.

Criminals are people, and people are predictable. Their thoughts, feelings, and emotions are reflected in their crime and can be "read" from the evidence they leave at the crime scene. The ability of the trained investigator to properly interpret what they and their crime scene specialists see at the crime scene will provide them with that extra "edge" when the interrogation starts. If you have the right suspect in the interrogation room chair, they will soon realize that you know more about the crime they committed and how they committed it than they ever thought possible. You will then be in a position of power with a much greater chance of obtaining a confession. They simply can't get around the fact that "You Know".

This course is designed for criminal investigators, crime scene specialists, and uniform officers who have the responsibility of conducting their own interviews and interrogations. It stresses the vital importance of the "crime investigation team" working together to maximize the information gained through a thorough physical and psychological examination of the crime scene. It is not a matter of how big your department is, but rather of how sincere your commitment is to learning a new and better way. It will forever change the way you work crime scenes and interrogate your suspects. 

This course is designed for criminal investigators, crime scene specialists, and uniform officers who are responsible for conducting their own interviews and interrogations. This class will benefit any investigator or officer seeking to improve their skills in the art of interrogation or the gentle art of persuasion. Three things solve cases: 1. Physical evidence, 2. Witnesses, 3. Confessions. It is very important for any investigation to know how to get a criminal suspect to confess, or get them to "yes". This class will make you a much better interrogator and give you the added confidence to enter a room and get the suspect to confess.
