Since 1982, Wicklander-Zulawski & Associates, Inc. (WZ) has trained over 200,000 law enforcement professionals. The WZ Seminar on Criminal Interview & Interrogation ties the interpretation of verbal and physical behavior into a structured approach of interview and interrogation.

This course is unique in that it provides training in multiple techniques of interview and interrogation, including the WZ Non-Confrontational Method, Behavioral Interviews and the Reid Method*. The WZ Non-Confrontational Method is a structured, conversational approach that often results in an admission (or multiple admissions) without the suspect ever making a denial or protesting their innocence. Moreover, the resulting legally-acceptable confession often includes information not revealed during the investigation.

• Room Setting & Preparation • Legal Aspects • Theme Development • Handling Explanatory Denials • Enticement Questions

• WZ Non-Confrontational Method • Behavioral Analysis Interview • The Reid Method* • Development of the Admission • Interpretation of Verbal & Physical Behavior

There is more than one way to interrogate a suspect. If a person is trained in multiple methods, they have the ability to use the technique most appropriate for the type of case and individual they are interviewing.

* WZ is licensed by John E. Reid and Associates, Inc. (Reid), originator and developer of the Reid Method. WZ was licensed by Reid in 1984. Since that time, the extensive updates for this seminar, including the WZ Method of Non-Confrontational Interview & Interrogation, have been developed by WZ using the latest information from legal, psychological and interrogation

research.
