Learn to use interpersonal skills, guided conversation, and elicitation techniques to get to the truth. Generate answers to key questions without asking direct, interrogation-like questions. These techniques are great for interviewing victims and witnesses, but are designed to get the evasive person to tell the truth. These techniques are commonly used by the CIA and other undercover intelligence officers.

 Upon successful completion, you should be able to:

1.      Conduct casual conversations in interviews and interrogations

2.      Identify the objective and design a guided conversation plan

3.      Start the conversation by implementing an effective approach and establishing rapport

4.      Keep the conversation going by employing red light/green light and active listening techniques

5.      Pick up on important topics and use segues and bridging to control the conversation

6.      Explore sensitive topics

7.      Determine why elicitation works

8.      Learn and employ elicitation techniques

9.      Identify and overcome deflection methods
