Advanced Level of Investigative Interviewing
About this course
The principles of Advanced Investigative Interviewing are to obtain an accurate, reliable, and detailed account of events through one of two models, namely, free recall or conversation management. The Courts are increasingly relying on information being gleaned using the PEACE model, an acronym for (P) preparation and planning, (E) engage and explain, (A) account, (C) closure and (E) evaluation.
The course structure has similarities with Investigative Interviewing (Entry Level); however, this course provides greater and more detailed analysis and understanding of issues pertinent to statement taking and conducting interviews. This course covers legal principles, proofs of offences, understanding case law, and interview solutions for vulnerable witnesses, interpreters, solicitors and third parties.
