Learn why you should measure reliability

Read the article, in LPM Magazine, about why we should consider the efficacy of eyewitness interviews as proof for gathering reliable cognitive evidence.

Why not focus on the interviewer?

Since previous eyewitness interview studies focused on the accuracy of eyewitness statements why aren’t we looking at the interview techniques that seek truthful answers? After all, we know that eyewitness memory is highly susceptible to manipulation and can result in unreliable information. Why not try asking questions in a mindful way.

Every interview session that’s evaluated for proficiency receives a summary report that informs administrators about areas that need attention. We help you understand the nuances of each exchange and explain our assessment. We also recommend a training program that will create more mindful eyewitness interviews for your personnel and allow them to gather more reliable cognitive evidence.
