Advanced Interviewing for Law Enforcement Investigators Training Program (AILEITP)

Up one level

The Advanced Interviewing for Law Enforcement Investigators Training Program (AILEITP) is designed to enhance the skills of law enforcement criminal investigators as they conduct interviews of victims, witnesses and suspects. During their initial law enforcement training, students are taught the basic steps of a law enforcement interview. While these steps are important to learn, understand and apply, this initial training laid only the basic foundation needed for the beginning criminal investigator. The AILEITP will provide the students with an arsenal of methods and skills to use during the course of various interview and interrogation situations they will face on a daily basis. The AILEITP instruction will teach students how to obtain information effectively through various interview and interrogation methods, techniques and theory.

Throughout the AILEITP, students will take part in lectures, hands-on exercises with immediate instructor feedback, and an end of program interviewing laboratory. The AILEITP will have various break-out sessions where students will have more one-on-one time with an instructor, thus enhancing the entire training experience.

With a wide variety of courses built for the AILEITP, the students will learn the advantages of effective verbal and nonverbal communication as well as ways to detect deception through verbal and nonverbal observations of others.
