The session will focus on maximising the use of investigative material that has been gathered during the course of the investigation with particular emphasis on the style and structure that the interviewer should adopt when presenting this to the interviewee.

A decade since Police Now was created and seven years since the organisation launched its first detective entry programme, Kurtis will reflect on some of the lessons and data from this interesting (to him!) journey and attempt to draw out those that may be of value or have wider application to police forces and the sector as a whole.  

The session will cover off the work of the RRWI group whose role nationally is to develop meaningful interventions to support the recruitment, retention and wellbeing of investigators. Whilst also identifying existing positive practice and develop meaningful, evidence-led interventions to improve the recruitment, retention and wellbeing of investigators. The group sits under the wider NPCC investigations portfolio.
