Chapter 1

So You Want to Be an Investigative Interviewer?

Abstract

This book is written for readers who will conduct interviews outside of law enforcement situations. In the chapters ahead we talk about the Miranda warning, questions and answers, techniques, deception, and evidence. In this chapter we examine what it takes to be an investigative interviewer and some helpful tips for when the time comes to conduct that interview. You may not be a private investigator; you might be a human resource specialist, asset protection associate, insurance investigator, loss prevention officer, security director, or owner of a business. Professionals in all of these fields will find this material helpful.
