Forensic Interviewing: The Next Step

April 19-21 in Frakenmuth

May 16-18, 2022 in Gaylord

Training hosted by PAAM

“This seminar is designed for prosecutors, CPS workers, and law enforcement officers who will be conducting interviews. The training is designed to increase your understanding of the primary features of forensic interviewing and provide information to enhance your interviewing skills.

Michigan’s Forensic Interviewing Protocol was developed in conjunction with the DHHS and the GTF. The goal of a forensic interview is to obtain a statement from a child in a developmentally sensitive, unbiased, and truth-seeking manner that will support accurate and fair decision-making in the criminal justice and child welfare systems. Topics to be covered include: (but not limited to)

• The Forensic/Phased Interview: Preparing for and conducting Forensic Interviews
• Understanding Medical Abuse
• Preparing yourself for court
• What your prosecutor needs
• In-depth report writing from actual case/interview transcript
• Individual (mock) interviewing practice”
