This course emphasizes the importance of rapport and provides a comprehensive overview of WZ’s evidence-based interviewing methods, teaching participants how to apply these tools in conversations with witnesses, victims, and subjects. Participants will gain adaptable strategies that can be tailored to the evidence, the subject, and the type of interview being conducted.
