Jeff: I thought you might like to read the little prop I got out there for you in last month’s Northwest Region Monthly Narrative:
Prior to turkey season, Marc Bagley and Vince Crawford had a rather lengthy discussion with a convicted felon that thought he was in jail for just a couple days for a first degree trespassing charge. A search warrant was served on his house while he was in jail and multiple firearms and fresh wildlife violations were discovered. Marc and Vince conducted the interview, and at last count, revealed 25 wildlife violations between 4 people, and all of this without letting the man know the warrant had been served. Vince comments, “We’ve got to thank Forensic Interviewer Jeff Baile for his interview techniques we used to gain the information we needed.
Jeff: you and your assistance were mentioned in my service review for this year!
You have used the skills gained from attending an optional interview techniques seminar to further your effectiveness in interrogations. Several quality cases were the direct result of your willingness to seek additional training that improves your abilities as a Conservation Agent.
