Effective interviewing is a skill that must be learned by special training and the experience that comes from constant practice. Experience cannot be taught, but training in the basic concepts of the proper way to conduct an interview is an invaluable start. Anything that can be learned by “trial and error” can be learned more thoroughly and quickly through systematized study.  The following topics will be covered in this one-day workshop:

•  Overview
•  Legal Rights of The Company and Individual
•  Preserving the balance between the two
•  Questioning Techniques
•  Cross examination techniques
•  Interview vs Interrogation
•  Staging the interview process
•  Creating or dealing with stress
•  Attitudes and authority
•  Framing the interview
•  Catching the liar
•  Detecting lies
•  Getting a response on inconsistencies
•  Documentation and processes
•  Recording the interview – in writing or otherwise
•  Affirming the record
•  Witnesses
•  Putting it together

The spoken word is usually the greatest source of investigative evidence and often is the best evidence in any judicial or administrative forum. No investigation is complete until every important witness, subject, and, when possible, complainant, has been interviewed.

Proficiency in interviewing assures a high degree of accuracy in fact development, helps prove or disprove the issue at hand, prevents surprise testimony from arising later, and may help impeach witnesses who change their stories.
