TapRooT® Evidence Collection and Interviewing Techniques Course

If you don’t have reliable information supporting the facts on your SnapCharT®, you may miss root causes. This course helps investigators perform better interviews and collect more accurate evidence.

There is so much to remember during evidence collection … and so much to lose if you are not prepared.

• Ever have trouble completing a sequence of events on a SnapCharT® because you lacked pieces of information?
• How can you remember what to collect?
• What is an effective structure for conducting an investigation interview?
• How do you help witnesses to an incident remember important facts with better accuracy during an investigative interview?
• What is the best way to handle the challenges of preservation and contamination of evidence?

Learn the answer to these questions and advanced techniques to gather evidence and perform cognitive interviews. These advanced techniques will improve your investigations by avoiding many common problems that plague investigators.
