Interrogation has long centered around one goal: the confession. But that approach has come under fire—from both the courtroom and the research lab. As wrongful convictions, false confessions, and post-9/11 interrogation failures have shown, the costs of coercive techniques are too high.
It’s time for a shift in mindset.
Join veteran investigator and national security expert Mark Fallon as he explores the evolution of modern interviewing—rooted in rapport-building, memory science, and real-world experience. This live webinar will unpack the operational and ethical benefits of adopting effective, evidence-based interviewing practices.
Whether you’re in the interview room or shaping policy from the top, this session will equip you with tools that promote accuracy, reliability, and public trust.
