The PEACE Model
The PEACE model is the "road map" of the interrogation process, including: Preparation & Planning, Engagement & Explanation, Account, Closure, and Evaluation. In the class, the officers will be familiarized with the main topics of the process, and would gain understanding about the role of each actor, their MO and the interaction between them.
The Reid 9 Steps of Interrogation
The Reid Technique is a method of Interrogation adopted in many law enforcements agencies all over the word since 1947. Using the method, the interrogator increases the chances to get a full confession from the suspect. In the class the audience will learn the 9 steps with a lot of examples from the lecturer's personal experience. The 9 steps are:
- Direct Positive Confrontation.
- Theme Development.
- Stopping Denials.
- Overcoming Objections.
- Getting the Suspect's Attention.
- Handling Suspect’s passive mood.
- Presenting an alternative question.
- The "break".
- The confession.
During the lesson, simulations (role-playing) will be used in order to increase the assimilation of the process.
Criminal Profiling
The profiler doesn't come instead of the investigator or to replace him. On the contrary, he should be with a lot of experience from the field and not only a scholar from the academic word. In this lecture the audience will find out the functions of the profiler, mainly to reduce the number of suspects in serial crimes situation, and to assist to the interrogator how to obtain a confession from the suspect. As a demonstration to the essence of the Criminal Profiling, a contingency profile on religious terror will be presented. Contingency profiling in serial crimes helps to identify the offender from the crime scene.
In addition, the officers will be taught how to prepare a specific (individual) profile by practical exercise.
Strategies to defeat the interrogation, from the offender's point of view
The police investigator is not the only one who has to improve his skills and profession. Even the offenders, mainly the recidivists and those belonging to criminal groups, educate themselves to improve their preferment and their abilities to resist and to fail the interrogation. We shall study their strategies and tactics to develop our own. The audience will be invited to advice on realistic or hypothetic situations that they may have to meet with and be challenge with strategies to fail the interrogation.
Planning and directing field operations
In this class the officers will study the process of planning a field operation based on the objective of their investigation. It is necessary to , who, what, command and control and logistics; and they will exercise with the preparation of operation order.
The techniques in identifying, collecting and gathering evidence
To gain a conviction it is essential that the investigating agency gather sufficient legally admissible evidence to convince the judge or jury that the suspect is guilty. Police departments are often reasonably certain that a particular individual is responsible for a crime but may remain unable to establish guilt by legally admissible evidence. In order to secure the necessary evidence, the police employ a variety of powers and procedures for collecting and gathering evidence. In this class the methods and procedures will be discussed and presented.
General review of the Forensic identification, including Product identification and Human identification, will be delivering in this class as well.
Operational debriefing and learning lessons
Operational debriefing is conducted to provide the opportunity to review the application and suitability of a facility's procedures and staff responses to a particular incident with a view to systems improvement and/or prevention of recurrence. It provides all employees who were directly or indirectly involved in a critical incident or traumatic event, the opportunity to discuss the incident, to identify those issues that worked well, and identify any deficiencies in how the incident was responded to or managed and to make recommendations to improve response and management of such an incident or event in the future.
In the class will learn a method how to prepare and conduct an operational debriefing and how to follow up after the implementation of the lessons.
Investigations management and supervision

- Balanced Scorecard: Vision, strategic objectives and measures.
- CompStat: (COMPuter STATistics) is an accountability process, including a multilayered dynamic approach to crime reduction, quality of life improvement, and personnel and resource management.
