The Art of Interviewing & Interrogation
You can easily interview people in a friendly, professional manner.
“If you’re sick and tired of the same old approach to interviewing and interrogation and are not afraid to try new, scientifically proven, effective techniques… then you’re about to discover an innovative interview method which is wildly successful.”
Are you interested in the topic of interviewing and interrogation?
If so, you need the information revealed in this innovative approach to low-confrontational interviewing and interrogation; called Focused Interviewing, Version 2.0.
Every professional in the field of law enforcement, corrections, military law enforcement and investigations, drug enforcement, theft prevention, corporate security, personal protection and national security needs to know how to interview witnesses, suspects, victims and others.
Here are some grim facts:
The predominant interviewing and interrogation methodology utilized today is categorized as accusatory or confrontational.
The accusatory, confrontational approach is the least productive in terms of results.
It is also the easiest to attack in court and viewed the least favorably among jurors.
Why do we continue to teach methods that don’t work well?
FACT: Almost every criminal you will ever interview or interrogate is a recidivist….that is, that person will commit crimes multiple times and will most likely be interviewed or interrogated over and over again.
FACT: Trickery, coercion, “in your face” tactics, high-pressure techniques and other forms of confrontational interviewing and interrogation may only work the FIRST time someone is interviewed.
FACT: Non-confrontational interviewing will work over and over again!
The most effective technique is narrative style interviewing, which is made easy using the Focused Interviewing System,Version 2.0.
But experienced police officers and investigators already know how to interview people, right? Maybe not…
Consider:
The overall success rate of officers gaining admissions and/or confessions is less than 40%.
Most Law Enforcement Academies average 4 hours of interviewing and interrogation techniques in Basic Instruction.
60% of all Police Academies do not teach interviewing and interrogation techniques at all.
Less than 20% of officers nationwide receive any in-service interviewing and interrogation instruction.
When asked to identify lies by watching body language, officers fare no better than chance.
Yet, Police Officers put blind faith in their ability to identify deception using body language.
At least 50% of the interviewing and interrogation techniques being taught to law enforcement officers are inaccurate and non-productive.
This skill is so important in law enforcement that it should be emphasized over all other areas of training.
Sadly, most training academies and law enforcement agencies can’t afford to have high-priced interviewing training programs, so they skimp in this critical area.
They are making a big mistake.
Do you feel like you could use more interviewing and interrogation training? If so, read on…
Look how the world has changed in recent years.
For example, members of our military are now taking part in interviewing suspects all over the world as a part of our war against terrorism.
Now, more than ever, we all need the skills at hand to effectively interview people in the field.
My name is Chip Morgan and I interview and interrogate people for a living.
After 30 years of conducting criminal interrogations, I’ve learned a thing or two about this fascinating thing called interviewing.
Believe me, in my early years, I made nearly every mistake imaginable during the interviewing and interrogation process.
Yet, I “hung in there” and kept refining my techniques until one day I finally figured out the key.
You have the opportunity to use my latest interviewing and interrogation techniques without having to learn it all by trial-and-error.
You deserve to know how to easily conduct interviews, without making my early mistakes.
I’m talking about productive, satisfying interviews which end up with you getting admissions and confessions by the ton!
We’ll get back to that, but first, let me ask you something:
Have you ever been unsure or hesitant when you started an interview?
Don’t feel bad, in a particular situation, any of us may be somewhat hesitant to confront a suspect in an interview.
First, let’s look at some reasons why you might be hesitant to interview a suspect in the “real world”:
Maybe you have bad case facts.
Maybe you have a partial suspect identification only.
Maybe you have “weak” witnesses or victims to a crime.
Maybe you aren’t sure there even has been a crime.
Maybe you’ve never had much success as an interviewer.
Whatever the reason, sometimes you may not be 100% confident when you are starting an interview.
That’s not your fault.
Part of the problem is the interviewing and interrogation method we were taught when we started in this business: it’s known as confrontational interviewing.
“Confrontational interviewing” where we aggressively challenge a suspect (example: “John, I know you did the burglary“) is not possible in all situations.
The good news is: you don’t have to directly challenge anyone in an interview. You will soon know how to walk into an interview (where you are unsure of the case facts) with total confidence, elicit all the information someone has about the crime and secure admissions and confessions in a professional manner.
What’s more, it’s easy, logical and requires no memorization of “steps.”
The best approach to interviewing is completely different than what you may have seen before.
Forget about “confrontational” style interviewing.
Non-confrontational interviewing is more productive, is easier to learn and is more acceptable to the courts and the public than confrontational style interviewing.
You see, most people want to tell the truth, at least on a subconscious level.
All you have to do is figure out how to get them to tell you.
To become better interviewers, we must first become better listeners.
What we have to do (as interviewers) is to find hidden “keys” in people’s personalities which will allow us to “unlock the truth.”
You’ll soon learn how to talk with anyone, put them at ease, get to know what makes them “tick” and use that information to discover the truth.
In order to gain the truth, the people being interviewed must feel as though the interviewer understands them and cares about them.
Once that happens, their trust level escalates until they can’t wait to confess.
Remember, to be an effective interviewer doesn’t just mean obtaining more admissions and confessions (although you’ll certainly do that) but also means becoming a better listener for victims and witnesses, too!
Frequently, practitioners of the Focused Interviewing System enthusiastically say that they are getting more detailed witness statements and more complete victim statements by using this technique.
By employing the Focused Interviewing System, it is not uncommon for people being interviewed or even interrogated to feel as though you are the only one who understands them; the only one in the criminal justice system that cares about them and the only one to whom they can relate.
It is very common using this system to receive Postcards, “Thank You” letters and phone calls from the very people you have interviewed, even though some of them end up in prison as a result of your interview!
Using the Focused Interviewing System, here’s what you’ll be able to do:
avoid confrontations
easily obtain admissions and confessions
instantly diffuse anger and hostility
obtain better witness statements
get more detailed victim statements
understand the dynamics of the interviewing and interrogation process
interact with people (including very mad people) without getting complaints
learn how to really listen to what someone’s saying
You will soon know how to become a better interviewer, getting confessions, admissions and better witness statements almost immediately.
Your co-workers, judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, bosses and subordinates will soon be amazed at your interviewing ability!
Absolutely no other method currently offered deals with the subject of interviewing from this angle.
The Focused Interviewing System is easy to learn, easy to use and works very, very well.
That’s right… you can easily interview anyone and get more confessions.
In addition, you’ll learn the best techniques for interviewing witnesses and victims, too!
I’m not talking about a steep learning curve here.
If you download this material, you can start using this system today!
The Focused Interviewing method is a very simple, step-by-step process that makes total common sense.
Once you start interviewing this way, you’ll wonder why you didn’t do this all along!
The real beauty of The Focused Interviewing System lies in it’s flexibility and adaptability, enabling you to successfully interview people in any situation.
There’s nothing to memorize, no mandatory progression in the technique from one level to another.
You’ve seen some interview courses where the students get laminated cards (cheat sheets) to carry with them at the end of the seminar.
Believe me, if you have to consult a cheat sheet during an interview, you’ve already lost the contest….
Many law enforcement officers and criminal justice students have taken The Focused Interviewing System training course at law enforcement training facilities and college campuses throughout the United States.Many more have used the course materials worldwide.
Normally, this is a one week block of instruction which is somewhat expensive.
When you figure in tuition, the cost of transportation, meals and lodging, it all gets expensive to attend traditional interview and interrogation training classes.
You have the opportunity to receive this same, high-quality interviewing training at a mere fraction of the price, delivered instantly to you in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format.
That’s right, within minutes, you can be reading and absorbing this priceless course material, even if it’s 3 o’clock in the morning!
It’s so “chock full” of training aids and guidelines, you’ll want to read it over and over again.
How can I offer The Focused Interviewing System Version 2.0 at such a reduced price when the “other” interviewing classes charge from $300 – $500 and up for their training?
Easy, I am the author.
I don’t have to market this product through numerous layers of distributors, each one marking up the price.
The most important thing to me is that if you need this material, you can get it!
Bottom line: I am a cop, an investigator, an instructor and a polygraph examiner. My heart and soul lies with the people who work in this (sometimes thankless) profession and I want to provide each of you with this valuable tool I have developed to help make your job easier.
My competitors have told me that I’m nuts for giving this info away so cheaply. They are afraid that if everyone can afford to have top-notch interviewing and interrogation training right in their own hands at such a reduced price, no one will want to attend their high-priced interviewing schools.
I don’t care what they think.
My goal is to get this information into as many law enforcement officers’ hands as possible.
The good news for you is………for very little cost whatsoever, you can have this training delivered instantly to your computer.
With my total money back guarantee,
What have you got to lose?
I believe in the need to train Law Enforcement Officers so much that I am almost giving The Focused Interviewing System away in this e-Book format.
That’s right, if you act now, you can receive the exact same interview and interrogation training that thousands of law enforcement officers throughout the United States and Canada have received, at a fraction of what it could cost to attend the training seminars in person!
When you try The Focused Interviewing System you will get a training system that is worth upwards of $500.
I’m literally giving this valuable information to you because I believe so strongly that every law enforcement officer should have it.
But, don’t delay, you won’t want to work another day without this valuable information.
You really have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I offer a 100% money-back guarantee! Focused Interviewing is 100% guaranteed
