Episode 1 “Understanding Interviews and Interrogations”
Dan and Frank, the hosts, provide a detailed discussion onthe critical differences between an interview and an interrogation. They emphasize that it is essential to conduct a thorough interview before proceeding to any interrogation.
This approach aligns with the parameters set by John E. Reid and Associates “Best Practices,” which guide the decision making process regarding when an interrogation should be initiated.
The hosts also briefly address the often overlooked practiceof obtaining a written confession. With the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), they speculate that video confessions and interviews could eventually be considered as reliable as polygraphs. This potential shift may highlight the necessityfor a renewed focus on written confessions witnessed by others.
Planning is highlighted as a crucial element in theinterrogation process. Dan and Frank stress the importance of using information gathered during the interview to effectively plan the subsequent interrogation.
Finally, the hosts address questions submitted by listeners,further clarifying the distinctions and protocols related to interviews and interrogations.
