About the event
This course provides an introduction to science-based, rapport-based interview and interrogation (I&I) techniques, the same techniques in which FBI and CIA interviewers are trained. You will learn to prepare for difficult interviews, the true nature of rapport and how to develop rapport with even the most challenging subjects, specific models for developing rapport in an interview, how memory works and how to help victims and witnesses remember more accurate details, how best to use evidence, and, modern science-based methods of detecting deception. Within the course we also discuss how we can best manage the uncertainty and ambiguity that is present in almost all investigations and the inherent cognitive biases that can impact our thinking in the investigative and interview processes.
