Investigative interview training
Build confidence, structure, and skill in every investigation meeting.
Conduct fair, safe and effective investigative interviews that establish reliable evidence and withstand scrutiny.
Interviewing is a critical part of the investigation process, yet it’s also one of the most complex.
Investigators are expected to gather reliable testimony from people who may be uncertain, distressed, evasive, or under pressure. Investigators need to plan interviews effectively, ask the right questions, handle sensitive topics or disruptive behaviours, and maintain fairness and integrity throughout.
Our training provides clear, practical frameworks for conducting structured, ethical investigative interviews with both witnesses and subjects.
Whether your team is new to interviewing or looking to develop existing skills, we’ll build their confidence through real-world practice, expert feedback, and grounded insight.
