I just attended the "Wicklander Zulawski Interview/Interrogation Course. Tomorrow the "Advanced" course begins. Pretty good stuff so far.

I have asked some of the more senior guys which training they have found to be the most useful in their careers, interview and interrogation is always one of the answers. Still have not had the opportunity to go myself. Doubt I will for some time...

If you do get a chance to go I would recommend this course. They teach both the Reid method and the WZ method. Good stuff so far.

I took an I&I class this spring, and I really enjoyed it.  I learned quite a bit, but the best part was the night that we had our practical test.

We had a local detective come in, that was supposed to be a suspect in a crime we were investigating.  I got her so twisted up, that she didn't realize
that she had confessed! Honestly, the instructor didn't either until I made him rewind the tape. It was just a little offhand comment that I turned to hang her
with.

I can't wait to go to my next one!

Never really had formal interrogator training. Have had things like what to watch out for when being interrogated but not the other way around, not too much other than how to counsel troops....................but I love the mind games, getting into the minds of others. To that, have a lot of psychology and to some extent, acting, courses on knowing what can work.

My best? Interrogating the Chaplin on the base, getting him to talk about the problems and people in his area in "idle conversation"........and the Senior Chief was staring at me afterwards.

I've been denied training in Reid and SCAN twice each. I'm very interested in taking a formal interview/interrogation class.

Any training is good training.  I took a course from Dr. Steve Rhodes.  He teaches I&I and the subconscious mind.  It was very interesting and taught me some good stuff.  Best part is, my partner and I both took the course, so we both use it.
