FIS® P.E.A.C.E Investigative Interviewing Technique Course 

The ‘P.E.A.C.E.’ framework of Investigative Interviewing provides a forensically robust model to secure complete, accurate, and reliable information in order to assist informed decision-making and add value to business.

This five day foundation course outlines the detail of this process, demonstrating how to maximize opportunity to capture detailed information in a forensically robust, ethical, and transparent manner; emphasising and evidencing the benefits of recording the process accurately, and how to ‘test’ the accuracy and honesty of what those interviewed tell you!

The course introduces core knowledge and context and is aimed at those working within any investigation and any others who undertake investigative interviews - ‘conversations with a purpose’ – and who recognise the clear business benefits and added value to their organisation and staff. 

It outlines the appropriate process for planning and conducting interviews, delivery being enhanced by subject matter specialists with many years of applied experience conducting and evaluating the most challenging interviews.  

In this context, interviewing is contiguous, and delegates will appreciate the skill of conducting interviews with a clear purpose, ‘open-mindedly’, and with an investigative mindset; the primary objective being to secure as detailed, reliable, and accurate an account as possible whilst avoiding ‘confirmation bias’, and utilising forensically appropriate questioning styles. 

Aim
