Respondents included 392 police officers from 36 states who answered questions about their witness/victim interviewing training; logistics/statistics (e.g. duration, interviewing environment); use of recommended interviewing techniques; pre-interview information; and written and electronic recording behaviors. Results revealed a lack of witness/victim-specific training, a disproportionate focus on suspect interviewing, and a lack of familiarity with interviewing guidelines (i.e. CI and the 1999 NIJ Guide). However, many CI-recommended techniques were reportedly used frequently, and CI-trained officers reported significantly more use of these techniques. Additionally, respondents indicated 33% of interviews have multiple interviewers present and 14% include multiple interviewees, and 67% of respondents indicated witnesses/victims are interviewed multiple times. Finally, officers reported that at-the-station interviews lasted significantly longer than on-the-scene interviews, and that 74% of on-the-scene and 89% of at-the-station interviews are electronically recorded. Findings suggest and support previous findings that although officers reported frequently using several recommended interviewing techniques, training in witness/victim interviewing is still lacking.
