Police interviewing and interrogation is a challenging task for most officers. While all officers receive interviewing training in the academy, this basic training is not enough, especially when interviewing career criminals, distraught victims, or sociopathic fraudsters.
Police agencies understand the difficulties officers face with interviews, so they send officers to body posture, facial expression, and voice stress analysis courses to help them become more effective interviewers.
Recorded interviews are crucial, if not the most important, piece of evidence in criminal court cases. Many prosecutors won’t even file criminal charges if officers do not complete an interview. Police interviews convert crimes to convictions.
When an officer starts the interview, no matter how serious the crime, they will likely use an interview recording system that captures both video and audio. Officers should focus on the interview and not worry about whether the recording system is properly working.
