Statement Analysis for the Informed Interview CJSTC #9999


ID : 82974   

« back to classes page
For years officers have been collecting witness, victim and suspect statements as a matter of routine and often fail to recognize the importance of what the writer is really conveying or purposely omitting. Through the statement analysis process, officers and investigators will gain insight that will prove invaluable in the interview/interrogation phase of the investigation. By analyzing the deliberate words people use, paying attention to the balance of the statement and the strength of their insinuations and many other critical factors, the statement analysis process will guide our investigators through a deliberate course of questioning. Statement analysis will change the way officers and investigators process criminal investigations and will unquestionably lead to a higher clearance and solve rate.

       Course Topics Include:
  • Indicators of Truthfulness
  • Indicators of Deceptions
  • Discovering Sensitive areas within the statement
  • Identifying key words
  • Preparing the Interviewer

Agency approval required before registration. Most agencies request that individual officers contact their training department prior to self-registration. 
This course has restricted access to only currently sworn and direct support staff of an agency.
