The 6 basic steps will be explained in detail and how they can be utilized on cooperative interviewees including: victims, witnesses, informants and suspects. The history, methodology, science and skills required will be explained in depth so as to assist students to utilize this methodology for obtaining more truth. To be clear, this methodology will only work on cooperative individuals. As this skill relies on Rapport Building, Active Listening, your physical expression and behavior, all these topics will be briefly reviewed as the 6 steps are covered. We will teach you when to deploy these skills during the different phases of a police investigation from interviews, through photo arrays (6-pac), line ups, and witness prep for court testimony.
