How can you fix something if you don’t know anything is wrong? That is the question Toosbuy presents to law enforcement leaders who want to reform police interview and interrogation practices within their agencies. Training the practitioners is not enough to ensure best practices are followed. Like every other area of law enforcement, policies and procedures must be implemented. To ensure these practices are properly followed, supervisors must know how to recognize bad practices or violations of policies. Without such mechanisms, there is no accountability or assurance that the practitioners comply with their agency's expectations. 

At the heart of our practice is the art of investigative interviewing. We use Science-Based Investigative Interviewing to solicit reliable information from reporting parties, witnesses, and the accused without the use of accusation or confrontation. To “get to the truth,” we apply Tell, Explain, and Describe (T.E.D.), carefully crafted open dialogue rather than closed-ended questions, identity Escape Routes deceptive people are likely to use, Interpersonal Deception Theory, coupled with decades worth of experience of understanding the psychological impact of deception on the cognitive load. 

Does your defense need a subject matter expert (SME) who can speak to whether a confession is unreliable because of the techniques used during the interrogation? Does the prosecutor need expert testimony on the validity of a confession? With over 25 years of experience, Toosbuy Consulting has seen both ends of the spectrum and can provide a fair, honest, and comprehensive assessment of your case.
