Interview Techniques for a Mobile Crime World
- 1. Interview Techniques for a Mobile Crime World Research, Strategy & Execution 1
- 3. Goals and Objectives Goal Increase awareness of the ability to aid an investigation by the interview process and techniques Objectives • Understanding what communication is • To create a list of possible questions that may be asked • To understand the application of interview and deception techniques
- 5. Definition of Communication 5 • Derives from the Latin word “communicare” meaning to share. i.e • Speech • Visuals • Signals • Writing • Behavior • May be intentional or unintentional
- 6. Types of Interview 6 • Adult who is the suspect or person of interest • Adult who could be a witness • Adult who is the victim • Young person who is the suspect or person of interest • Young person who could be a witness • Young person who is the victim
- 7. Scenario 1 7 • You are at a raid scene that involves a male person that has been communicating sexually with a 13 year old girl using applications known as SnapChat and TigerText. There are several males that reside at this house in question. • You have been chosen as the person that will seize the mobile device and interview the only person that is presently in the house.
- 8. Pre Interview Considerations 8 • WHO. You are interviewing • WHAT. Prioritize your questions • WHEN. Pick the right time for this interview • WHERE. Pick the best surroundings for the Interview • WHY. Is this information required now? • HOW. Will you approach to this interview and can this interview be recorded?
- 9. Questions That Can Be Asked 9 • Based on the scenario we will collectively create a list of questions that could be of value in this investigation.
- 10. Some Potential Questions 1 • Whose phone is this? • Does anyone else use this phone? • Who owns this phone? • What make is this phone? • What is the phone number? • Who is the carrier? • Is the device Jailbroken or Rooted • If this is your device what apps are on it? • Does the device have a passcode? • Would you be willing to share the passcode?
- 11. Listen and Observe Closely 1 • If we cannot get the lips moving we cannot listen • Interrupting is a cardinal sin when interviewing • Listening is difficult for Law Enforcement • It takes training and discipline to listen • If you have asked a question WAIT for an answer • Gentle prodding maybe required “Well”?
- 12. Coming Full Circle 1 • Armed with the “in field interview” information obtained • We can now contextualize the data retrieved from the device extraction and vice versa • This will allow us to compare interview and data found
- 13. Left Side of the Brain Test 1 • In 30 seconds, draw all of the following • A cup • A hand • A house
- 14. Let’s Compare 1 The left side of the brain already knows how to draw these things and does not need the right side to tell it what to do
- 15. Getting to the Right Side of the Brain 1 The Brain Viewed From the Top
- 16. Getting to the Right Side 1 • Draw that same cup upside down • Was it the same? • Was it as easy to draw?
- 17. Why Do we Need the Right Side? 1 Volunteer • Extremely difficult to lie backwards • If the story is truthful more details may emerge
- 18. Other Clues of Deception 1 Eyes of Person Facing You This may be highly subtle to observe and not always accurate Visually constructed Visually remembered Auditory Constructed Auditory remembered Feeling smell taste Internal Dialog
- 19. Micro Expressions 1 • Brief • Involuntary • Frown • Eyes glaring • Narrowing of the lips Note: Audio Visual Recording is valuable with this type of deception
