Course Objectives
Course Overview:
Date: September 28, 2026
Time: 11:00am-1:00pm
Of all the components that comprise a law enforcement internal investigation, none carries greater weight than the officer interview. When reviewing completed investigations, commanders and oversight bodies almost invariably ask the same question first: What did the officers say? That answer, or its absence, can determine administrative outcomes, shape civil liability exposure, and define whether a department can demonstrate accountability to the community it serves. For these reasons, internal affairs investigators must approach officer interviews not as a procedural formality, but as a discipline worthy of rigorous preparation and
skillful execution.
This course will address the legal framework governing officer interviews, the tactical and psychological dimensions of conducting them effectively, and the professional standards that should guide every investigator who sits across the table from a fellow officer.
