Interview and Interrogation
Reserve Seat

Within an interview, as a communication event, the interviewer has a number of established goals: Gather data or information from the interviewee Determine specifically, if the interviewee is truthful and if not, identify the form of the deception. Transition the interviewee from unwilling to willing. Toward this end, the interviewer must have the ability to QUESTION. A question is an activating event. If the questioning strategy employed is not productive, then the interviewer must have the ability to use additional approaches until the strategy most appropriate to the interviewee is found. Once the interviewee begins to talk, the interviewer must be able to DETECT DECEPTION. The form of the deception and the specific elements of deception have to be identified. The interviewer must have more than a “feeling” that the interviewee is not truthful. This knowledge will lead the interviewer to the last necessary skill. If deception is detected, the interviewer must have the ability to GAIN COMPLIANCE. The interviewer must then be able to change the goal of the interviewee from deceptive to truthful, from unwilling to willing. In summary, the process is this: Can the interviewer cause the interviewee to respond? Once the interviewee begins to respond, can the interviewer determine if he is telling the truth? If the interviewee is deceptive or noncompliant, does the interviewer have the ability to gain compliance? Training Objectives: As a result of the training the participant will: Given circumstances involving an interviewee and the dynamics of a situation requiring a compliance-gaining interview, present a considered interviewing strategy; Having observed a related interview, provide a critique to the interviewer, highlighting the positive and negative aspects of the interview and offer a strategy for the enhancement of persuasive abilities.

Vehicle Extraction Solutions

Reginald “Corey” Smith has been an active duty Police Officer since 2014. A current member of the Greenville Police Department, Corey is a SCAT instructor. Corey actively practices Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at East Carolina Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in Winterville, North Carolina under Professor Heath Chapman.

As time progresses, a continued lack of acknowledgment for law enforcement authority can progress as well. One of the many ways this can manifest is by an individual refusing to comply with an officer’s lawful order for the individual to exit their vehicle during a traffic stop. Extracting anyone from a vehicle when they are unwilling to comply and would rather resist can be challenging for even the most experienced officers. Officers in this course can expect to learn how to: Explain relevant case law that aids officers in their efforts to perform sound traffic stops /investigations. Perform physical extraction techniques on both passive and active resisting suspects who refuse to exit their vehicle during a lawful traffic stop. Effectively perform deliberate action on vehicles as it pertains to forcefully breaking windows, making mechanical adjustments, and altering the interior of the vehicle during extraction efforts.

Ethical Leadership

“We look to leaders to be role models and assume the responsibility for both the good and bad ethical decisions." Every day, leaders must face and make complex ethical decisions. The decisions made and the methods utilized to make those decisions determine whether the decision maker is an ethical leader. Whether you lead a law enforcement agency, a bureau, a division, a small unit, or simply take an informal leadership role in your daily life, the issue of ethical leadership cannot be avoided. Ethical leaders ARE role models. They communicate the importance of ethical standards and of holding employees accountable for those standards. Perhaps even more importantly they create and nurture an ethical environment in which others work and function.
