Interview Techniques, a peak at ITL2

Interview Techniques - What is Level 2?

Presented by Jim Smyth

Join Jim Smyth and the team of forensic psychologists that led world leading research into the most effective interview methods being used today.  They will be discussing both an online learning program and an advanced live training session available to those who have successfully completed the online training. 

The psychologists, University of Liverpool Doctors Laurence and Emily Allison and Doctor Francis Surmon-Bohr will discuss how they were recruited by the FBI and British Police Services to conduct the first research in the world that examined what methods and techniques were being used by the most effective interviewers to obtain reliable and truthful statements from difficult and confrontational subjects. 

Their research led to the development of ORBIT (Observing Rapport Based Interview Techniques) which is now used across North America and Europe to provide science based training to investigators.
