BLUE HAMMER TRAINING
INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES
Effective interviews often determine whether a case succeeds or fails. This course focuses on practical interviewing strategies designed to help investigators obtain the critical information necessary to support criminal charges. Rather than presenting a single interview method, the course identifies common mistakes investigators make during interviews and demonstrates techniques that consistently produce better results.
Participants will also learn how to ask questions and structure interviews in ways that help ensure statements and evidence remain admissible in court. Special attention is given to situations where victims or witnesses later become reluctant to cooperate. Officers will leave with practical tools that improve their ability to gather reliable information and strengthen the evidentiary value of their interviews.
