Interrogation is presumed to involve conflict and confrontation, but it doesn't have to. By using a structured, non-confrontational approach, an investigator can obtain a confession without the suspect ever making a denial or protesting his innocence. Moreover, the resulting confession often includes information not revealed during the investigation. The result is a legally-acceptable confession, obtained in a palatable way, benefiting the suspect, the interrogator, and the government/law enforcement agency.

This session features videos of the method in practice, law enforcement best practices, and government agency testimonials to illustrate the structure and teaching points specifically applicable to government intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
