Investigative Interviewing

“Society cannot afford investigative interviewing to be poor. This affects people´s perceptions of the system... Poor interviewing is of no value to anyone; it is a waste of time, resources and money. No one wins. People will not come forward if they have no confidence in the quality of investigators´ interviewing techniques”

(Milne and Bull 1999).

Interviewing, either by phone, or in person, is the major fact finding method we have at our disposal when obtaining information. It has to be done well.

Quality information will improve your downstream business practices and the PEACE Model is recognised as worldwide best practice in Interviewing.

Background to PEACE training model

In 1993, the PEACE Training Model was introduced for Police use in England and Wales. It comprised two models, The Cognitive Model and The Management of Conversation. The PEACE Model has evolved and since been adopted by numerous Police forces and Government agencies worldwide including Scotland, Northern Ireland, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia and the Republic of Ireland.
