In every interrogation instance, there are steps an investigator must take in preparing for the initial contact with the suspect and how to begin the conversation. Planning is vital in such areas as deciding if Miranda warnings are needed, what are the facts of the case, and what is the minimum you need to know.
This course will also show and explain the difference between an interview and an interrogation and when one might change into the other.
When a suspect is confronted with the allegations against them, they have four responses they can give. The instructor details what those responses are and how best to handle each one.
The course also has video recordings of actual interrogations for each of the four initial responses.
Our online video training and is designed to be interactive with students by random quizzes and, in some cases, a final exam. Student login times, location IP, and activity time within the course are tracked per student by Mixpanel to verify the time spent in the course if needed. Videos cannot be fast-forwarded or skipped, and testing cannot be done until the videos are fully watched.
Many of the videos have a unique symbol or picture that will appear prominently in the video and is part of the test questions, this will ensure the video has been watched, quizzes must be passed with a 100% so missing the proof of watch image will ensure the quiz is not passed and thus the student cannot move forward in the course. Also, all quizzes are presented in random question-answer order so each quiz attempt will have questions and answers in an order different than previously shown. This prevents students from sharing answers with other students.
Certificates will only be available for print after the successful completion of the course material. Each certificate will indicate that it was an online training and will note the approval control number and the CLEE hours given.
