"There was an overwhelmingly positive response from the Investigators and Officers in attendance, and I thought it was an extremely valuable training. We were long overdue for it here and probably an area that had been neglected for too long. It was good to get everyone on the same page, and it was interesting to watch the investigators use the techniques in real cases. I have seen them use note-taking, participatory Miranda, rapport-building, and several other techniques, and the Investigators seem to be adapting well. One of our Investigators did such a good job on a recent interview that I gathered the whole office, and we watched it as a group! Overall, I am extremely happy we went through the training as a group, and I think the two-day format was ideal for us. I think you were the right person to deliver the right message."
