THE Art of FBI Interrogation

with Scott Duffey, FBI Special Agent, retired

Enter the FBI Interrogation Room.

Have you ever watched a horror movie and screamed at the television or movie screen as the slow moving and creepy figure somehow always catches up to the running victim? You keep yelling “Run faster!” But time and time again the the movie never seems to disappoint with the tormenter catching their tormented.

In the same fashion, yet in real life, have you ever watched a police interrogation and wonder why the arrested just don’t shut up? Why a suspect thinks he/she can talk their way out of something they got themselves into?

Would you like to learn some of the tricks of the trade of police interrogation? Go behind the scenes of an FBI interview & Interrogation. A retired FBI agent will pull back the curtain and take you through the basic steps of preparing for and entering THE FBI INTERVIEW ROOM. Learn what it takes to prepare and execute a plan to get someone to confess to a crime. You will learn what it takes to prepare for talking with a suspect who is on the opposite side of the fence. You will learn how to prepare as a real FBI Interviewer and get into the interview room.

As an attendee you will see what it takes to elicit information, understand body dynamics of a person under stress, and how to utilize a person’s body language to make your journey to the truth for the victim you serve.

When an interrogation is decided by the interviewer that the interviewer has been met with resistance and deceit, then certain steps are taken to transition from the interview to an interrogation while maintaining the essentials of the interview. Detection of Deception, RPM’s, and Basic Principles of the Interrogation become the essential ingredients to obtaining a confession.
