Insight & Integrity, LLC delivers world-class training in Science-Based Interview and Interrogation (SBI) — the modern, ethical, and research-driven standard for investigative interviewing. All of our instructors have directly assisted in the practice and agency-wide adoption of science-based interviewing across real investigative environments. Each has also served as an agency coordinator for res
earch teams, helping bridge the gap between practitioners and scientists conducting evidence-based studies on interview and interrogation practices. Science-based interviewing is more than a collection of techniques — it’s an ethical framework grounded in psychology, communication science, and decades of empirical research, including work funded by the FBI’s High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG). This approach prioritizes accurate information over assumptions, emphasizing rapport, active listening, and strategic questioning to elicit complete, reliable accounts. Unlike accusatory or manipulative models, SBI doesn’t sacrifice results — it enhances them. Agencies that adopt this approach consistently report:
Increased information yield across suspect, victim, and witness interviews
Higher true-confession rates, achieved through cooperation rather than coercion
Reduced false or contaminated information that can derail investigations
Improved community trust and ethical standing in the investigative process
Science-based interviewing is the modern investigative standard—a discipline that strengthens evidence, protects integrity, and empowers investigators to “speak truth” through sound communication and critical thinking.
