TTP-SBI programs deliver a flexible approach for optimizing interactions during victim and witness interviews, suspect interrogations, informant debriefings, and community engagements. Additionally, we deliver programs to engrain these practices in the culture of your organization rather than simply deliver a block of training.
Our Mission
TTP’s focus is to bring multi-disciplined project teams to translate the science of human behavior into best practice-transforming interviewing in order to advance the capability of our nation’s protectors.
By combining psychology, law, and operational experiences, we provide practitioners with proven techniques that substantially increase relevant information yield.
Beyond individual training, our programs are designed to build capability and capacity in your unit, office, or organization. TTP-SBI’s programs initiate the change in the culture of interviewing from traditional, more adversarial approaches by creating a common language and accelerating practitioners abilities.
Science-Based Interviewing centers on the principle that effective interviewing should be built on a foundation of science, law, and ethics. These proven methods preserve professionalism and credibility while increasing accuracy and information yield.
