The PEACE Model: Evidence-Based Interviewing Strategies for the Workplace

CE Credits: 8 Credits
Length: 8 Hours
Level: Introductory
CE Eligibility: APA, ANCC, NBCC, NAADAC, CPA
Training Style: Video
Category: Investigative Interviewing
Intended Audience: Workplace, Law Enforcement, and Mental Health Professionals

Training Description
Interviews are conducted for a variety of purposes in the workplace with a variety of goals in mind. In many organizations, an interview is conducted to gather the information required to carry out a root cause analysis or to investigate wrongdoing, but such interviews lack consistency across the organization. This course is designed to help any professional gather complete and accurate information in a standardized manner to assist in making consequential decisions, managing risks, and minimizing exposure to liabilities. Specifically, attendees are trained to apply the scientific-based techniques that maximize the quality and quantity of information gathered from individuals in an ethical fashion via a five-phase model. Presented by two of North America’s leading trainers on the PEACE Model, this On Demand workshop is eligible for 8 hours of valuable Continuing Education Credit.
Topics covered include:
• Planning and preparing for interviews • Avoiding fundamental interviewing errors • Building rapport and listening actively • Understanding how memory works and the barriers to retrieving information • Utilizing scientific-based communication skills • Transferring interview control to interviewees • Asking interviewee compatible questions • Applying evidence-based memory extraction techniques, such as mental reinstatement of context, report everything, different orders, sketch plans, eye closure • Asking appropriate question types and putting questions in a logical sequence • Matching memory extraction techniques with memory type • Dissecting and probing answers • Taking notes effectively • Closing interviews properly • Using evidence strategically at the end of an interview • Creating consistency among interviewers in the same organization
More cost-effective and time-efficient than attending an in-person workshop but covering the same content, this innovative live training is the first-of-its-kind.
