Former US Department of Justice attorney Michael Johnson leads three webinars that challenge common beliefs about how to interview witnesses and spot deception in internal investigations. You will:
• Learn about scientifically validated investigative techniques by examining videos, transcripts and case studies of real-life investigations
• Leave the sessions more confident in your ability to interview witnesses and determine who is telling the truth
Attend live and/or recorded versions of the webinars described below, which past attendees have described as “eye-opening,” “engaging,” and “riveting.”
Spotting Cues to Deception in Internal Investigations
Thursday, May 16 | 2:00 to 3:15 pm ET
You will learn, among other things:
• How to strategically approach “he said/she said” cases or cases where there are no eyewitnesses
• Which verbal and physical cues to deception have been scientifically validated and which are based on myth
• Guidance from a U.S. government agency on how to make credibility determinations in employee misconduct cases
Investigative Interviewing: Advanced Techniques
Tuesday, May 21 | 2 to 3:15 pm ET
You will learn, among other things:
• How to use the “Funnel Method” to gather all relevant information from each witness
• How to use a “journalist” as opposed to a “police officer” interview style to get the person to talk
• Advanced questioning techniques developed in Europe that make it easier to differentiate between truthful and deceptive responses
Content Analysis of Witness Statements
Thursday, May 23 | 2 to 3:15 pm ET
You will learn, among other things:
• How to use “Statement Validity Assessment” to distinguish between statements that are based on memory of actual events versus false statements
• How the manner in which a witness tells a story provides clues of truthfulness
