The Trauma-Informed Interview Field Card (Field Card · 4 pages)
A printable reference card covering six behaviors that build trust early in the interview, the TEDS-PIE question framework, a guide to what to say and what to avoid, and seven mistakes that contaminate witness memory.

10 Search Warrant Mistakes That Get Suppressed (Tactical Brief · 5 pages)
Ten common drafting errors that draw suppression challenges, each shown as it looks on the page, with the specific fix built to withstand challenge.

The Affiant Biography Worksheet (Worksheet · 3 pages)
A fillable worksheet that builds a search-warrant affiant biography the court can rely on: eleven worked sections, the four questions a judge asks before signing, and the overstatement traps that invite a Franks or Alfinito challenge.

The Nexus Decision Tree (Decision Tree · 2 pages)
Four questions that test whether the place-to-evidence connection in your affidavit will hold up on a motion to suppress. Walk the tree before every submission.

The Particularity Self-Audit (Self-Audit · 1 page)
Audit your own warrant for the particularity defects a defense attorney will find first, place, items, and digital, before you submit it.

The Field Interview Decision Tree (Decision Tree · 3 pages)
A visual decision tree that walks an officer from "subject contacted" to "right technique for this moment" in under 30 seconds. Built for the realities of patrol, not the comfort of a classroom.

The Confession Sustainability Checklist (Checklist · 3 pages)
A three-phase checklist for taking a confession built to withstand suppression hearings, appellate review, and civil litigation. Pre-interview, during, and post. The fastest way to keep a good statement.

The Workplace Investigation Interview Framework (Framework · 3 pages)
A six-phase framework for conducting internal investigations that document defensibly, protect the complainant, and give the respondent due process. Includes question banks for complainant and respondent interviews.

Title IX Interview Guide for Campus Investigators (Field Guide · 4 pages)
A trauma-informed Title IX questioning guide designed to reduce the risk of re-traumatization, protect memory accuracy, and produces documentation built to withstand appellate review. Built for campus realities.

The Scouting Interview Framework: Beyond the Combine (Framework · 4 pages)
Pre-draft character assessment for front offices and player personnel staff. How to get past the rehearsed answer with open questions and checkable detail, and avoid the pseudoscience that loses millions on bad picks.

The Adaptive Strategies Compass™ Quick Reference (Quick Reference · 6 pages)
The Compass in a short desk reference. When the interview struggles, know which way to turn: the “Which way?” check, the eight directions, and the four decisions, condensed into something you can keep on your desk.

All resources are licensed for personal and internal-agency use. Please don't repackage and resell. Joe is happy to grant broader licensing on request, just reach out.

Your Search Warrant class was by far the best training I had ever received. I had completed the DCJS course, which did not help and left me confused. The information we took away from your class was extremely beneficial. I rave about your class.

Why This Library Exists

Built to be used on the job.

When we built this, the rule was simple: every resource has to be something Joe would hand to a working investigator the morning of a high-stakes interview or a search warrant deadline. If it's not field-ready, it doesn't go in.

Every document here is excerpted from a paid course we teach. We're showing our work because good practice spreads faster when the methods are visible. If a checklist changes how you work, the full course goes deeper on the same methodology.

No Marketing Goo

Zero "synergy," zero "leveraging best practices." Each document opens with what to do and closes with what to avoid.

Print-Optimized

Every PDF is designed to print clean on standard paper. Tape one to the inside of your case file.

Sourced From Practice

Built from real cases, real interviews, and real suppression hearings.

Updated Regularly

Case law shifts. Research advances. Each document gets a yearly pass to stay current.

Ready for More

If the checklist helped, the course will change how you work

Each resource here is a single tool pulled from a larger methodology. The courses include the case studies, the live scenarios, the recorded debriefs, and the personal coaching that the PDF can't carry.
