Needs Assessment For Security Police Interview and Interrogation Training At Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina,
Abstract
Air Force security police men and women conduct countless interviews and interrogations every day. The fruits of these interviews are often used as evidence in non-judicial punishment proceedings and court-martials. Commanders often rely upon statements from these interviews to determine appropriate punishments for offenders. Unfortunately, unless a commander has seen statements and reports generated from the efforts of a truly skilled interviewer and interrogator, he cannot know what he's missing. A commander may become accustomed to the quality of work he sees daily and doesn't necessarily demand better, because he hasn't seen interviewing and interrogation quality as a possible dependent variable, with training as the independent variable. This needs assessment demonstrated a legitimate need for education which leads to enhanced interview and interrogation skills. The portfolio project will address filling those needs. Just as importantly, the security police squadron at Shaw AFB is a willing and enthusiastic client for the portfolio project.
