=Popular Methods of
Interrogation=







[Page 3]
"We know ALL"

The interrogator must
first become thoroughly
familiar with the available
data concerning the
source. To begin the
interrogation, the

[Page 4]
interrogator asks
questions based on his
known data. When the
source hesitates, refuses
to answer, or provides an
incomplete or incorrect
reply, the interrogator
himself provides the

[Page 6]
detailed answer. Through
the careful use of the
limited number of known
details, the interrogator
may convince the source
that all the information
is already known;
therefore, the sources

[Page 7]
answers to the questions
are of no consequence.
When the source begins
to give accurate and
complete information, the
interrogator interjects
questions designed to gain
the needed information.

[Page 8]
Questions to which
answers are already
known are also asked to
test the source and to
maintain the deception
that all the information
is already known. A VERY
effective technique.

[Page 9]
"Rapid Fire"

This approach technique
involves a psychological
ploy based on the
principles that: Everyone
likes to be heard when
they speak; and it is

[Page 10]

------------------

[Page 11]
confusing to be
interrupted in
mid-sentence with an
unrelated question.

This technique may be
used with one, or
simultaneously by two or

[Page 12]
more interrogators in
questioning the same
source. In employing this
technique the interrogator
asks a series of
questions in such a
manner that the source
does not have time to

[Page 13]
answer a question
completely before the
next question is asked.
This tends to confuse
the source and they are
apt to contradict
themselves, as they have
little time to prepare

[Page 14]
their answers. The
interrogator then
confronts the source with
the inconsistencies,
causing further
contradictions. In many
instances the source will
begin to talk freely in an


[Page 15]
attempt to explain
themselves and deny the
inconsistencies pointed out
by the interrogator. In
attempting to explain
their answers, they are
likely to reveal more than
they intend, thus creating

[Page 16]
additional leads for the
interrogator.







[Page 17]
"Repetition"

Repetition is used to
induce cooperation from a
hostile source. The
interrogator listens
carefully to the sources
answer to a question, and

[Page 18]
then repeats both the
question and answer
several times. He does
this with each succeeding
question until the source
becomes so bored with
the procedure that he or
she answer the question

[Page 19]
fully and truthfully to
satisfy the interrogator
and to gain relief from
the monotony of this
method of questioning.
The repetition technique
will generally not work
when employed against


[Page 20]
introverted sources or
those having great self
control.






[Page 21]
"Pride and Ego"

This technique works
effectively on the
egotistical. The strategy
is to trick the source
into revealing desired
information by flattering

[Page 22]
them. Egotistic types
should be allowed to bask
at length in the warmth
of individual recognition. It
is effective with sources
who have displayed
weaknesses or feelings of
inferiority. The

[Page 23]
interrogator accuses the
source of weakness or
implies that they are
unable to do a certain
thing. The proud or
egotistical source will
jump to the defensive.
An example of an opening

[Page 24]
question for this
technique may be: "What
made you think you could
possibly do .....?" It
provides the source with
the opportunity to show
someone that they have
"brains" and in doing so,


[Page 25]
they give the interrogator
more information than
they should have.






[Page 26]
"Silent"

The Silent technique may
be successful when used
against either the
nervous, or the
confident-type source.
When employing this

[Page 27]
technique, the
interrogator says nothing
to the source, but looks
them squarely in the eye,
probably with a slight
smile on his or her face.
It is important for the
interrogator not to look

[Page 28]
away from the source,
but force them to break
eye contact first. They
will become nervous, begin
to shift around in their
chair, and look away. If
they ask questions the
interrogator should not

[Page 29]
answer them until he or
she is ready to break
the silence. A source may
blurt out questions such
as, "What the hell do you
want with me". When the
interrogator is ready to
break the silence, he or

[Page 30]
she may do so with some
quite nonchalant questions
such as, "You have been
doing ..... for a long time
haven't you, are you self
taught?".



[Page 31]
=Forms of Questioning=

Prepared questions:
When the topic under
inquiry is very technical
or when legal aspects of
the interrogation require
preciseness, the

[Page 32]
interrogator will have
a list of prepared
questions to follow during
the interrogation.

Control questions:
To maintain control and
to check on the

[Page 33]
truthfulness of a source,
the normal questions will
be mixed with control
questions-those with
known answers. If you fail
to answer these
questions, or answer
wrong, it will indicate

[Page 34]
that you are either not
knowledgeable in the topic
or that you are lying.

Nonpertinent questions:
Sometimes it is necessary
for the interrogator to
keep the true objective


[Page 35]
of the interrogation from
you. By carefully blending
pertinent questions with
nonpertinent questions,
the interrogator can
conceal the true purpose
of the inquiry.


[Page 36]
Direct and leading
questions:
The manner in which the
questions are worded has
a direct bearing on your
response. A question may
be posed in a number of
ways:

[Page 37]
1. "What did do on (date,
time, or place)?"

2. "Did you (action) on
(date, time, or place)?"

3. "You did (action) on
(date, time, or place)?"

[Page 38]
4. "You didn't (action) on
(date, time, or place), did
you?"
