This fast-paced interactive two-day seminar focuses on understanding the crime scene from a behavioral approach and then taking that understanding directly into the interrogation room. What can be learned from the crime scene becomes truly powerful when it can be used by the skilled investigator in efforts to narrow down their pool of suspects through the interview and interrogation process. Crime scenes have a “psychological fingerprint” as well as physical evidence and, in this course, officers will learn the skills necessary to utilize their knowledge of both, in the one on one, face-to-face interrogation of the potential suspects. This course is designed for criminal investigators, crime scene specialists, as well as uniform officers who have the responsibility of conducting their own interviews and interrogations. Class size will be limited to 40 participants.
