Criminal Interviews for Road Patrol

Criminal Interviews for Road Patrol is a 1-day course that focuses on interview and interrogation techniques designed specifically for the road patrol officer or deputy. Real interview footage, from our instructors, will be shown to reinforce what we teach. After being promoted back to patrol, Jon Rappa made it his mission to test which interview techniques transfer from detectives to the patrol side and how to successfully improve on the interviews conducted by patrol officers. Patrol officers should not be limited in something they do every single day. TAKE YOUR INTERVIEW SKILLS TO THE NEXT LEVEL!

Email received from a Sergeant from a mid-size agency in South Florida: “I wanted to take a minute to thank you for coming to our agency and teaching your class. I have received phone calls from every one of our officers who took your class telling me how amazing the class was. One of them stated it was the best class he has ever taken in his 10-year career. Thank you again and I sincerely hope we can host you again in the future.”
