Investigative Interviewing Group Camps

A series of monthly online Group Camps (workshops) for police trainers exploring techniques of investigative interviewing. The 2021 calendar focuses on the application of PEACE model of interviewing to the questioning of suspects. Group Camps are held on the first Tuesday of each month from 7.30 to 8.00pm via Zoom. The host is Dr Stephen Moston (Director of Forensii).

Each Group Camp examines one aspect of investigative interviewing and integrates views from academics, trainers, and practitioners (all participants can contribute).
