In the high-stakes world of modern policing and professional investigations, an interview is only as strong as its foundation. The Investigative Interview System by Code3Press is a comprehensive, 2026-edition methodology designed to move your team from random questioning to a structured, evidence-based strategy.
This isn't just a collection of forms; it is a tactical lifecycle that ensures every theme is ethical, every admission is corroborated, and every confession is legally bulletproof.
Legal Admissibility Protection: Built-in "Firewall" scripts specifically address the Oickle voluntariness test and the Singh right-to-silence re-affirmation to protect evidence from court challenges.
The "Guilty Knowledge" Filter: A mandatory protocol for identifying and withholding Non-Public (NP) Facts to ensure that admissions can be scientifically corroborated.
Psychological Theme Development: Advanced templates help investigators script Identity-Based or Responsibility-Shift themes that reduce suspect shame and provide a face-saving path to the truth.
Tactical Preparation: The system mandates a "90% Preparation / 10% Execution" workflow, utilizing the Interview Intelligence Funnel (IIF) to rank evidence and predict denial pathways before entering the room.
Environmental Control: Professional room setup guides and the "Clean Field" policy eliminate physical barriers and distractions, maximizing rapport and investigator safety.
