The Greatest Interview and Interrogation Method of all time!


"Every Law Enforcement Officer today should have a commanding knowledge of the Art of Interviewing" 

The Focused Interviewing System

Here is a sampling of  the practical interviewing aids you'll receive in this eBook:

 

INTRODUCTION

Whether a person is a Probation/Parole Officer supervising 100 felons, a Police Officer in a patrol car, a Fish and Wildlife Officer working all alone 50 miles from any back-up, a military law enforcement professional or a Federal Agent working in a structured environment, being a law enforcement officer is an extraordinarily tough job which demands all of our skills and training.

In virtually every modern law enforcement agency, much care and consideration is given to the allocation of training, especially that training which requires both expenditures of time and money. 

Traditionally, different segments of the agencies (patrol, detectives, administration, etc.) have had to compete in a sense for their share of the almighty training dollar budget. 

As a result, it is common for agency administrators to prioritize the available training money. 

Training in most modern law enforcement agencies has taken on the semblance of a triage system at an emergency room. 

Administrators want to send everyone to training, but they end up throwing some money at those who are "bleeding" the most. 

Consequently, uniformed officers mainly receive training emphasizing the motor skills areas (firearms, arrest techniques, emergency driving tactics, handgun retention skills, etc.) while investigators receive training geared toward their primary areas of emphasis (interview & interrogation, crime scene investigation, investigative specialties, etc.).

Ironically, an objective analysis of the component parts of the job of the uniformed officer reveals interviewing skills are utilized far more often than any other skill. 

Think about it, what skill is used more often than the ability to talk with people and elicit information? 

Conversely, what will get an officer in trouble with the public faster than an inability to communicate? 

How many times in any officer's life will he or she use deadly force? 

How many times in any given month will he or she get into a vehicular pursuit? 

How many instances of dealing with hazardous materials will crop up in an average month? 

Contrast the frequency of these incidents against the absolute certainty that we will have to interact with people during each and every shift.

We routinely qualify in shooting, attend yearly hazardous materials safety courses, attend Emergency Vehicle Operations courses and the like, yet most patrol officers never attend formal interview and interrogation instruction after an initial exposure to it in the basic training academy.

It is largely for this reason that I developed the Focused Interviewing system in written format, to allow the inexpensive, easy methods contained herein to benefit police officers without regard to job assignment, all in an affordable manner.

Compounding the training problem is the current countrywide push toward "Community Policing" and all of the responsibilities inherent with that system. 

Simply put, Community Policing can be best described as a philosophy of empowerment that allows the beat officer to solve problems. 

By collaborative efforts with others in the community, police officers are responsible for actually resolving the community concerns, rather than just taking enforcement action.

While the philosophy sounds good, the average law enforcement patrol officer has not been given the tools with which to conduct investigations, interview people, make public presentations and achieve this collaboration to solve problems. 

Federal grant money has been spread across the country in an effort to promote Community Policing. 

Officers have been hired, equipment has been purchased and public relations efforts have been extensive in this area. 

Unfortunately, officers that do not have the foundation of investigative training may find themselves in an uncomfortable position.

One Community Policing officer recently told me "If I had wanted to interview neighbors, show photo lineups, speak to public groups and work extensively with other public agencies, I would have been a detective. What happened to good, old-fashioned police work?"

One of the primary components of Community Policing is the ability to interact with people in a non-threatening manner which elicits maximum information. 

Tools such as the Focused Interviewing system will be invaluable in this effort.

The Focused Interviewing system is easy to learn, easy to use and is easy to teach to new recruits and veterans alike. 

It is an exceptionally good technique for a Field Training Officer to share with a trainee and lends itself well to an academy setting. 

Most basic training academies teach a block of instruction on "Interviewing and Interrogation." 

However, these traditional systems stress the structured interview process. 

The new trainee soon realizes that he or she will conduct hundreds or thousands of street interviews while on patrol and will perform few formal, structured interviews in an interrogation room setting.

The beauty of the Focused Interviewing system is its simplicity. 

There is no memorization of steps, rules, mandatory order of progression or confusing concepts. 

Instead, I will present a system where you decide how to approach the myriad of situations facing police officers in everyday life, using concepts which are based upon common sense.

There are some very fine formal "Interview and Interrogation" type training classes for law enforcement officers out there (being a polygraph examiner, I have attended quite a few of them), but they tend to emphasize the structured interrogation aspect of the situation and are geared more toward an investigator than a patrol officer. 

The Focused Interviewing system does not just deal with the structured interview/interrogation type setting. Again, an analysis of an officer's daily job reveals that the vast majority of contacts that he or she experiences are not in a structured setting conducive to a formalized method of interview and interrogation.

In developing the Focused Interviewing system of street interviewing, great attention was paid to the typical encounters the law enforcement officer will experience daily, instead of trying to make real life fit into a structured format.

The Focused Interviewing system is not one based totally on theory, but rather upon practical application. 

These techniques are being successfully used daily, are very easy to learn and do not require reference texts to be carried in the field. 

In this system, we will look at what is wrong (or at least ineffective) with typical street interview techniques, what led us to use techniques that don't work, what does work and how to develop techniques that will dramatically increase our "confession" or "incriminating statement" rates in dealing with offenders and will be of great value in clarifying statements obtained from victims and witnesses.
