FINAL POST

I believe this is this final post. Not sure what it's supposed to be on, so i'm going to free write. Tonight i had police training. Like usual, it was boring. We did a classroom on interrogation and investigation. The same old stuff we learned last year and earlier this year. We took some notes then went to a scenario. Our guest leader tonight was a lieutenant officer who specialized in interrogation. I did learn some new tricks tonight, some new body language and its meaning, such as catching people in their lies. In the scenario, it was a 5th degree assault around 2 a.m. at an apartment building. I had 3 fellow officers with me and we went in the interrogated the victim who had been beaten by two men and left duct taped with a bashed up apartment. We asked all the questions, you know the usual, but this guy was being very difficult. He was not giving us the answers we were thirsty for. We had to dig and dig and keep up a strong report with him. Finally we caught him with a mix of information and found out some stuff like the description of the two subjects that we needed. We then left the interrogation room and came back 10 minutes later with a suspect matching the description we had gotten from the victim. We interrogated him for 5 minutes, and kept pounding him with the exact questions he did not want to answer. Easily, he was caught by us and we mirandized him and put him in custody. The meeting ended up going until about 9:15, and i really did not enjoy being there that long doing review.
