Join TapRooT® tomorrow at noon EST for Facebook Live
Join us tomorrow when TapRooT® professionals Barb Carr and Benna Dortch discuss the topic, “What are extension techniques and why are they so important?” This is the third part of the investigative interviewing series. In the first installment, Barb discussed a powerful but underutilized technique: building rapport. Last week’s tip presented another powerful interviewing technique: effective listening.

Last week on TapRooT®’s Facebook Live in the Effective Listening session, we learned that only through effective listening will you learn to pick up on the “right” questions to ask. Barb gave us a beginning point:”The first question is the only one you need to know going in: ‘Tell me, from start to finish, what you observed the day of the incident.’” Barb also advises that the next step is to “sit back, listen, and identify which follow-up questions need to be asked.”
Since our listening skills develop with practice, everyone can use help becoming better investigators. Use the video and Vimeo below to review your skills:
