About

Download Our Brochure

The Institute’s membership operated as a close but informal group for over ten years. Its membership came from the academic research community and the working street-oriented world of police and intelligence agencies. There is a very close exchange of information between these two groups that resulted in a training program based on practical experience and methods supported by scientific research. From the onset the focus of the training has not been in obtaining a confession, but in obtaining the TRUTH, thus reducing the possibility of obtaining false confessions.

In 1998 J.J. Newberry and Dan Voznik retired from their respective agencies and teamed up with Carol Stubbs (private investigator) and formed the Institute of Analytic Interviewing. Ms. Stubbs has since retired from the institute but is still working as a private detective. The Institute is currently registered in California as an “S” corporation and has trained over 10,000 law enforcement and intelligence officers. It has over 20 instructors throughout the United States, Europe and parts of the Pacific Rim. The science of Analytic Interviewing has been adopted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the Singapore Police, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption, and a number of other enforcement and intelligence agencies.

The main goal of this innovative science is finding the truth.

Analytic Interviewing

Different types of interviews, including prospective employees, prospective licensees, background investigations, covert intelligence probes, undercover inquiries, fraud, etc. all have one thing in common. The purpose of the interview is to obtain information -- specific and accurate information.

The Analytic Interviewing course which has been taught to organizations worldwide focuses on detecting hidden emotions, recognizing signs of deception, establishing rapport and control, and communication techniques. This is achieved by observing both verbal and physical behavioral traits. The mastering of these skills provides each interviewer with the expertise to confidently evaluation truthfulness.

Objectives include but are not limited to:

  • Establish and maintain rapport with others.
  • Understand and read another person's nonverbal communication and identify masked signs of emotions.
  • Recognize signs of deception.
  • Maximize the completeness and accuracy of memory recall for events from witnesses and victims.
  • Learn how to formulate questions and when to ask them. Prepare, plan and conduct an effective, structured interview, without contaminating the subject.
  • Above all, lean to conduct a richer and more insightful interview that will promote truthful information elicitation

< BACK

 

Rapport & Control

It is a fact that people are most comfortable with those who are most like themselves. Rapport is primarily obtained by creatively establishing common ground or points of commonality with another individual. The best control you can have over another person is a strong rapport. It is a rule, not an exception that people like to maintain rapport and if the rapport is strong they will usually compromise their position to do so.

This course will teach you the subtle yet powerful methods of establishing rapport, eliciting information and the art of getting what you want through key concepts such as how to establish a baseline, the art of mirroring and anchoring, measuring success through leading and control and detecting deception.

  • Become skilled at the subtle techniques of mirroring and anchoring
  • Learn to read the body language cues signaling interest or indifference
  • Learn to decipher deceitful messages through multiple body language channel scanning
  • Build stronger relationships more quickly and learn to relate more effectively to others
  • Discover how to test your level of rapport and know when you are in control!

The Cognitive Interview

Information is the lifeblood of investigations and it is the ability of investigators to obtain useful and accurate information from eyewitnesses that is most crucial. Yet full and accurate memory recall is difficult to achieve. This proficiency course will familiarize investigators with the Cognitive Interview (CI) technique. The CI is a systematic approach to interviewing cooperative witnesses toward increasing the amount of relevant information obtained without compromising the rate of accuracy. The CI is based on scientifically derived principles of memory and communication theory as well as extensive analyses of law-enforcement interviews. The CI has been found in scientific studies to produce significantly more information than standard police questioning. The CI is legally acceptable to the courts.

Attendees will learn about the nature of memory retrieval and how to conduct investigative interviews more effectively while avoiding the worst mistakes. In addition to the basic CI protocol, specialized techniques for use with unique populations will be presented based on research funded by the National Institute of Justice. The unique populations include: anxious or traumatized persons, amnesic persons, mentally challenged persons, and children.

This course also includes a half-day segment on techniques for detecting deception during consensual conversations with subjects who have raised suspicion. The methods taught include a reliance on the more reliable verbal, vocal, and behavioral indicators of deception.

Personality Disorders & Interviewing

Personality types can play a big role in the interviewing process. Indentifying personality types is key in a successful interview process. Through years of experience, law enforcement and researchers have developed three main clusters of personality types. Each has a distinct set of characteristics that can uniquely impact the interviewing process. Through behavior analysis one can quickly identify what personality cluster a person exhibits and refine the interview technique to optimize the interview. Learn to identify A, B and C cluster personalities as well as other personality disorders that may affect the communication process.

Nonverbal Communication & Detecting Deception

The course focuses on detecting hidden signs of emotions and recognizing signs of deception as well as truthfulness. Research reveals that most of us are quite poor at detecting deception but fortunately, there are methods that each person can learn to improve their deception detection accuracy. Participants will learn how to spot behaviors, gestures and expressions that occur without conscious awareness that reveal hidden emotions and even intentions. By honing in on these behavioral cues, interviewers and observers develop a keen sense for behavioral deviations and relevant areas that require further probing.

  • Debunking the myths of deception
  • Improving observational skills and emotional awareness
  • Learning to spot hidden signs of emotion through microexpression training
  • Developing practical skill based applications

He frequently gave classes at police academies throughout the country. He was the guest speaker at the first International Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Conference and re-appeared as a guest speaker at the 20th year conference with other international speakers. He was called before the U.S. Senate to testify and make a presentation as an expert on organized crime and outlaw motorcycle gangs. After retirement from ATF he worked to assist the U.S. Marshal in opening and conducting operations at the Oakland, CA field office. For the U.S. Department of State he conducted interviews of potential diplomats to confirm their national security status.

    Richard Mullender

    Recently retired form the Hostage and Crisis Negotiation Unit at Scotland Yard, Richard was until his retirement the lead trainer of the National Hostage and Crisis Negotiators Course, creator of the Advanced Interviewing Course for Scotland Yard and Police Detective.

    Richard spent the early part of his career as a CID officer across London. He has worked on major investigations throughout his career and in 1994 he became a trainer at the Scotland Yard Crime Academy. During his time there he helped develop courses for Recruits, Detectives, newly appointed Managers and Officers tasked with the investigation of major crime. He also designed and delivered the extremely effective basic investigation programme for the South African ‘Scorpions’, and has delivered interviewing and investigation programmes in Brazil.

    In 1996, Richard was given the responsibility of designing and developing the Advanced Interviewing Course for the Metropolitan Police. His research for this product included the successful completion of a number of courses worldwide. Consequently he has been trained by Dr Eric Shepherd, a leading figure in crime investigation, and in the United States by Professor Paul Ekman, the world’s leading authority on body language. Richard has always believed that investigation and analysis go hand in hand and he therefore completed an Analyst and i2 course in 1997.

    In 2001, Richard was selected to work for the National Crime Operational Faculty at the Police Staff College (Bramshill) as their lead in Investigative Interviewing. Throughout his time there he was responsible for ensuring the quality of interviewing training nationwide. He was also a member of the Investigative Interviewing Policy group which reviewed and redesigned National Interviewing policy.

    In 2002, because of his work in interviewing and his training background, Richard was asked to join the Hostage and Crisis Negotiation Unit based at Scotland Yard. Having been trained as a negotiator and attended a number of incidents he was given the responsibility for redesigning and developing the national Hostage Negotiator course. This course is now recognised as the most progressive negotiation course in the world and Richard is still asked to Lecture to Police Forces all over the world. As lead trainer on the course, he trained over 100 negotiators from the UK, the United Nations, the FBI, and from a wide variety of other countries. Since his retirement he has been asked to deliver courses across England and to Lecture in Sweden and New York.

    His main interest is in the development of Communications in all fields and he is currently engaged in research to uncover a method of teaching that will ensure the students retain all the information delivered rather than some of it.

    Core concepts of the Analytic Interviewing course

    Analytic Interviewing incorporates the cognitive interview into the British P.E.A.C.E. model, which when followed provides a framework that enables interviewers to plan, prepare and conduct an open minded, structured and effective interview, that will not contaminate the subject. This is the bedrock of the interview process. The next ingredient in Analytic Interviewing is building rapport to encourage the subject to engage in the interview process and once engaged, using the scientifically proven memory retrieval techniques incorporated in the cognitive interview. The conditions are then in place to utilize the remaining sophisticated techniques taught in Analytic Interviewing and include reading non-verbal signs of communication, identifying hidden signs of emotion and recognizing signs of deception. Although, each of these subjects can be taught as an independent module, when combined, they make for a very powerful interviewing model.

    The Cognitive Interview

    The CI was developed by Drs. Geiselman and Fisher for use with co-operative witnesses and victims of crime. However, the basic protocol of the CI has been shown highly effective in interviewing potential suspects. The CI is designed to elicit large amounts of information from subjects, whether truthful or deceptive. Elements of the CI protocol, such as reverse order recall, can be used to highlight indicators of deception such as body language cues.

    P.E.A.C.E. Model

    • Planning & Preparation
    • Engage and Explain
    • Account, Clarification, and Challenge
    • Closure
    • Evaluation

    Building Rapport and Maintaining Control

    The role of rapport in the interview process is one of the most important building blocks to eliciting information and finding the truth. Research in the 1970’s discovered that the really successful therapists had great rapport with their patients. This success has been replicated in other professions where interviewing plays a pivotal role.

    Reading People

    Understanding the motivation and intent behind potential sources of information can give insight into the assessment of the individual and the interview process. This should not be seen as straightforward, given the range of factors that may be driving the individual. There is an on-going need for assessment. Such motivating factors will range anywhere from the malevolent driven by revenge or greed, to the more benevolent driven by a sense of justice or patriotism.

    Signs of Deception

    The training program teaches the handler to read and understand signs of hidden emotions as well as verbal and behavioral leakage that will enable him or her to better assess the accuracy and truthfulness of the informant and the information. Subtle emotional expressions, universal across cultural lines, are taught to prepare students to accurately assess the source, as well as potentially violent or difficult interactions.

    THE ANALYTIC APPROACH

    The art or process of elicitation is experienced in this course. The word “experienced” is used because that is what the student called upon to do, experience through hands-on training. Through this method of learning, each individual student is asked to subject himself to sensitive personal issues and to experience the feelings like those of any person being interviewed or interrogated.

    Through this experience, students gain insight into the behavioral responses of others and learn to read the symptoms they project. None of this is done to embarrass or offend any individual, but to enhance awareness.

    To successfully learn to become a better interviewer, each student must participate in the training. The manual is designed to assist individuals in practicing what they have experienced and learned.

    **Students will be require to complete a pre-course reading assignment. Upon course registration you will be given the assignment.

    The Institute currently has nstructors throughout the United States, Europe and Australia at its disposal. The Analytic Interview Course has been adopted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, theOakland, California Police Department, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), the London Metropolitan Police, and the Serious Organized Crime Agency in the UK.
