Introduction to Interviews and Interrogation
Jennifer Bourgeois
July 24, 2013

To identify the robbers I would do the following: I would question the witnesses and victims, I would put the suspects in a lineup, I would secure all videos and other evidence, I read the suspects the rights, I would document any confessions and charge the suspect and investigate, compare and contrast facts and evidence regarding the detained suspects in the other zone. I would follow up by going to the suspect for identification and confirm the witnesses if the person is involved or not in the robbery. Purposeful interviewing refers to the realization that statements are sought for specific reasons (Gosselin, 2002). Purposeful

    Interviews are informal meetings with a person to gain information regarding a case. The person being interviewed should feel relaxed in order to be open and willingly give information that will help the security officer on the case. They should take place as soon as possible so the details are fresh in the person’s memory and an outside party cannot sway their thoughts. Interviews are used when talking to victims, witnesses, and family members or friends. People being interviewed are normally open and willing to give information regarding the case or personnel under question if they do not believe they are being threatened or intimidated. People being interviewed can help the security personnel gain insight and key details to piece together the bigger puzzle or possibly solving the crime. Respect, truthfulness, and an open-ended conversation should get the interview going in a positive direction and allow the interviewee a chance to express openly and share what…

    On November 18, 2012 at 1:00pm I interviewed Stephan Baldwin, a substance abuse counselor at Stephens Medical Hospital in Edmonds. The reason for this interview was for me to gather as much information in the substance abuse field as possible and the requirements needed for this type of position, and to expand my professional network. For a long time I have debated a career in business or psychology. If I chose psychology I would want to do something related to counseling, or even possibly be a psychiatrist. So I thought that interviewing someone in this position would help me understand if this was the kind of career I would be interested in.…

    As an Accounting major, I am very interested and have become fond of learning about the varying business aspects within the sports industry. As a result, I decided to conduct my interview with a professional that is associated with the business operations of athletics. The person that I interviewed was Dawn Reynolds, the Senior Associate Athletic Director for Business and Finance here at the University of Miami. After initially getting in contact with Ms. Reynolds a few weeks ago, I was finally able to meet with her briefly and conduct my interview on November 30, 2010, in room 261 in the Hecht Athletics Center. Just to give a bit of background information about Ms. Reynolds, she is from Elmira, New York and now currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida. She graduated from the University of Miami with a major in Finance and started her career at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia where she worked for four years as their budget coordinator. As a past president of the College Athletics Business Managers Association, she was named the College Athletic Business Manager of the Year in 2003 and has since served on various committees including the ACC Finance Committee and chairs the NCAA Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee. She has worked with the University of Miami for the past 20 years and is currently the Chief Fiscal Officer for the Department and is a member of the executive management team.

    False Confessions

    In 1988, Ted White was clubbed in the head and face at his mattress business between 12:45 and 1:55 p.m. White died of his injuries three days later and was never able to tell the police officers of the incident. There were no witnesses found and the police never discovered any fingerprints or DNA to help identify the actual perpetrator. Regardless, police originally suspected Matt Mason of the murder but were unable to bring a case against him. Mason and Tinney were acquaintances. Glenn Tinney original pled guilty to the murder of ted white in 1992. There was evidence that was presented at court that got Tinney sentence exonerated. The evidence they had to get his sentence exonerated was the fact that none of the confessions matched the facts of the crime and an Ohio judge reversed Tinney’s conviction. The prosecutor investigator was told Glenn Tinney may know something about Mason’s participation in ted white’s murder, Tinney said that him and mason killed Ted white together but then a couple of days later he said he did the crimes alone. The police also uncovered that Glenn Tinney gave other statements that was not consistent with each other or with the facts of the crime. The court concluded that upon close comparison of Tinney’s confessions, he “confessed to killing a man he could not identify, for conflicting motives which don’t match the facts, at the wrong time of day, with a weapon that does not match the victim’s injuries, by striking him in the wrong part of the head, and stealing items the victim either still possessed after the attach or probably never possessed.” Because of these reasons, the court said it would be “manifestly unjust to deny withdraw of the guilty plea” because the confessions did not provide any support for the murder conviction (McGinn, 2013 ).…

    Within the study, 136 residents of the Wynne Unit of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice witnessed a staged theft and provided testimony to the incident (Colwell et al, 2002). The interview consisted of scripts derived from Structured, Cognitive, and Inferential Interview techniques. Participants were assigned randomly to one of the three interview techniques and were measured on their honesty and dishonesty to the questions obtained. Participants randomly assigned to the honest group were instructed to report everything about the incident as truthful as possible. Participants in the dishonest group were instructed to distort the testimony from the honest group to debar the conviction of the staged perpetrator. The interviews were held individually for a duration of one hour and were recorded and videotaped (Colwell et al, 2002). The role of the interviewers was to accurately identify participants who were giving fabricated statements and honest statements.…

    Being cautious and prepared is key for interrogating suspects. The interrogation location should be free from distractions or interruptions. The interrogation room should be well lit and secure. It's important that the officer not ask close ended questions. Asking closed ended questions will lead to short yes or no responses. Asking open ended questions will lead to a broader response and more information will likely come out. Taking notes and recording the interrogation is also key. Although there are many types of interrogation techniques, the officers should discuss the role they will be playing before hand. They can decide which type of interrogation technique will bring out the best results. -WRITTEN AND INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION-METHODS FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT By Harvey Wallace and Cliff Roberson(CHAPTER 9 PAGES 139-145)…

    Either using three squad cars or taking the witnesses over one at a time (but in some way keeping them separate when they view the suspect), I would give the three witnesses the chance to see the person being held. Some cars have tinted windows so the suspect cannot see who is identifying them. This would tell me whether to make a preliminary arrest and would justify a search of the suspect or their car/property. The other, more traditional way involves putting the suspect in a lineup and bringing the witnesses in one at a time at the station. While at the liquor store, I would also analyze the video of the crime (all such stores now have video security, for the most part) and see if the height and build matched the suspect. A photo lineup could also be used where photos of five people are taken and the witnesses are asked to identify who they think the robber was. The courts strongly disapprove of one person show ups, typically the suspect who has fled the scene is usually brought back so the witness can identify them. In doing this it tries to prevent an innocent person ending up in jail. If this method is used it requires very careful procedural safeguards. If there is one or more witnesses only one at a time should have access to the suspect. Warn or caution the witness that the suspect may not be on location, fully document both positive identifications and no identifications out comes that occur.…

    A different approach will be used to gain perspectives from prison staff. For the Warden of the prison and counselor(s) I will be using a targeted sample approach. These interviews will be conducted in a semi-unstructured manner. The goal will be focused around their perspectives of cannabis, mental health, and rehabilitation within the prison. These will be semi-structured interviews there will be specific objectives such as gaining knowledge of how many inmates suffer from mental health disorders. What treatments are used to help these disorders? What kind of drug policy the prison has (through the eyes of counselor/warden vs. staff/detainees)? Because there are specific goals, these will be semi-structured interviews, however, this is meant to be more of a discussion and conversation than a structured interview. It will be closer to an unstructured…
