Interviewing and interrogating can take a very long time! Many hours can be spent trying to get information interrogations especially

Investigations

Investigating involves a questioning and answering process, known as interrogating and interviewing

Investigating is a primary way of finding information while requiring the cooperation of the police officers, detectives, and any witnesses or suspects in the questioning process

This is designed so that the detectives can find informating that can lead to suspects, arrests, and information about crimes committed

Interviewing

Information gathered here will help investigations greatly, and can lead to new suspects to be interviewed or interrogated

Make sure the interviewees are comfortable, and in a relaxed setting. Facing the door with it open, and sitting anywhere they feel comfortable

The interview process is to get informating from witnesses and from possible victims, so keep in mind during this process to use non-accusatory questions

The powerful interrogation technique

John E. Reid designed these steps, creating one of the more effective interrogation processes out there. These steps won't always assure you a confession, but they help, while staying within the legal and moral boundaries of the law.

The Direct, Positive Confrontration

Interrogations

The setting here should be more strict, give the suspect less of a comfortable feeling. They should be faced away from the door and a empty room across from the interrogator

Suspects being interrogated are not always willing to give answers, so being firm and "rough around the edges" when questioning can be a must, while at the same time using caution is neccessary

The Reid 9 steps is used in interrogations, and can be very effective

Must be careful when interrogating, as it is very possible to get false confessions!

Questioning here is meant to get needed information from suspects, and being accusatory can be needed
