Extracting the Truth: Advanced Interview and Interrogation

Extracting the Truth Interview and Interrogation Training combines research-backed, science-based investigative interviewing practices with a non-confrontational, rapport-based model grounded in empathy. Our approach emphasizes a structured, evidence-supported framework while tailoring techniques to fit the realities of modern law enforcement and produce more consistent, successful outcomes. Class taught by Jon Rappa.

Although our approach is not confession-driven, we recognize that obtaining admissions and confessions can be an important part of certain investigations- and when it’s time to go there, we teach you how to obtain them the right way.

Our training delivers an authentic, practical approach to interviews and interrogations, setting us apart in the field. Here’s what makes us unique:

• Authentic, Realistic Training: We use videos of our instructors conducting real interviews, not clips pulled from the internet, to ensure our training reflects actual law enforcement experiences.
• Developed by Active Law Enforcement: Taught by experienced professionals who actively use these techniques, our methods are designed for today’s ever-changing investigative challenges.
• Proven in Diverse Cases: Whether it’s shoplifting, domestic violence, or murder, our strategies have been field-tested across a wide range of scenarios.
• Real-World Application: We provide hands-on, practical methods to help you gain reliable and actionable information in any interview or interrogation scenario.

Whether you’re an investigator, patrol officer, or detective, these skills will elevate your ability to uncover the truth.  BE THE BEST INTERVIEWER AT YOUR AGENCY!
