Successful law enforcement interviewers incorporate various techniques that help them get to the truth. Undercover agents, in particular, often use elicitation and guided conversation techniques to stealthily get the truth when overt interrogatives don't seem to work. Essentially, they are asking questions without asking questions. You too can use these techniques in everyday encounters on the job. Learn to:

  1. use the various elicitation techniques and understand why they work;

  2. design a guided conversation around interview objectives;

  3. start a guided conversation, using elicitation techniques, and to keep it going.

  4. elicit personal and sensitive topics

  5. use segues and bridging techniques to control the conversation; and

  6. identify and overcome deflection methods.
