The following information pertains to the training course schedule for a 3-day (18-hour) course of instruction on Interview and Interrogation (I & I). This instruction will be provided to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), Code 10B, Training Academy as part of the Special Agent Basic Training Program (SABTP). The terminal objective for the training is: Students will have the ability to conduct Interviews and Interrogations with successful results. The I&I training will be provided to 18-48 students per course. The contractor shall be responsible to train NCIS personnel in the differences between interviews and interrogations; preparing for interviews and interrogations; room settings for performing interviews and interrogations; observing and evaluating behavioral symptoms; determining which symptoms are indicative of truth and which are indicative of deception; assessing verbal and non-verbal behaviors; evaluating paralinguistic behavior; implying the possible existence of incriminating evidence; conducting screening interviews designed to elicit behaviors to help identify potential suspects; confronting a suspect in a way designed to confirm his involvement in the criminal activity being investigated; development of potential reasons why the accused may have committed the crime; dealing with objections from the suspect; presenting the suspect with a rationalized alternative reason for committing the crime and how to elicit details of the crime from a suspect. This training will provide the theory, techniques, and practical exercises to newly hired Special Agents. Upon completion of the SABTP, these employees are assigned the responsibility by the NCIS to conduct sensitive criminal investigations for violations of laws of the United States. Due to the requirements identified in the President?s Council on Integrity and Efficiency?s Quality Standards for Investigations of 1997, the NCIS has the responsibility to train new personnel to provide continuity to the Agency in the art of interviewing and interrogation. For the past 2+ years, the NCIS has used contractors that instruct the John E. Reid Method of Interview & Interrogation (Reid) for training/instruction in interview and interrogation techniques. The techniques and methodologies of Reid have proven to be very effective and have continuously provided the desired results. Reid?s non-adversarial technique of establishing rapport and cooperation during an interview or interrogation is congruent with the mission/methodologies, policies and procedures of the NCIS. The contractor must be able to operate in a geographical area that is beneficial to the NCIS. Currently that location is the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Glynco (Brunswick), GA. The contractor shall coordinate and arrange the travel and lodging for their employees. The projected course dates for fiscal year 2006 are presently undetermined. However, it is anticipated that approximately 1-10 courses will be required. The result of this training enables the newly hired Special Agents to successfully conduct interviews and interrogations, initially under supervision, then on their own. The ability to conduct quality interviews and interrogations is a necessity to any criminal investigator. By receiving this type of training, newly hired Special Agents will be able to operate in concert with current NCIS personnel. This training has a direct impact on the ability of the NCIS to accomplish its mission of preventing terrorism and related hostile acts against DoN forces and installations; protecting DoN systems and information against compromise, and reducing criminal activity and mitigating its impact on Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. The value of this training cannot be overstated. Instructors must have experience in and the ability to provide training, allowing the students to perfect I & I techniques and methodologies. Instructors will have experience/backgrounds from any military, public law enforcement, or private/corporate security agencies in conducting interviews and interrogations targeting all types of criminal suspects. The lead instructor must have at least 10 years experience in the conduct of criminal I & I techniques, as well as a demonstrated ability (3 to 5 years of teaching experience) to provide effective instruction. Other instructors shall have 3 to 5 years of combined experience in both I & I techniques and teaching. A minimum of a Bachelors degree is required for all instructors. Instructor resumes will be required after contract award. In addition to the instructor qualifications, the contractor must provide copies of all training lesson plans to the NCIS Training Academy.
