WHY THIS REVOLUTIONARY COURSE WILL CHANGE THE GAME

ACCESS OUR ONLINE COURSE

The Process of Interrogation has been practiced for thousands of years. As we’ve evolved, and developed more effective ways to elicit confessions from criminals, we have ignored a major factor in the scenario - human behavior.
​ 
The conclusive studies show that nonverbal communication is 2/3 or more of communication, this, by default, means that it’s also 2/3 of interrogation as well. Previous interrogation training has only focused on roughly 30 percent of the interaction, and we continue to wonder why our confession rate isn’t where it should be. 

Not only have we ignored the nonverbal behavior issue, which is hurting our justice system, we’ve ignored the fact that a simple method with several steps can’t be applied equally to all people. 

Our officers are getting trained to apply the same principles to everyone, as if humans are replicas of each other.

People are different, and when you’re able to modify interrogation strategy based on the personality, fears, needs, insecurities and beliefs of the suspect, the whole dynamic changes. 

It’s simple. Interrogation programs ask you to follow a formula that neglects and ignores more than 2/3 of the actual scenario. Science has evolved, so should our training.

We would never settle neglecting 2/3 of information in a crime lab, at home with our children, or anywhere else results are important. We would immediately find a system that addressed this critical gap; our results would improve almost immediately, and the system would work in ways we never imagined.
 
Our interrogation training system is like no other. We guarantee that your department and your teams will improve confession rates, reduce false confessions, establish greater clarity in interviews, and close cases faster.

With over 80% of convictions in the US relying on confessions and interrogation-derived evidence, imagine the impact when we no longer settle for a program covering 1/3 of the interaction.

​The Hughes Protocol for Interrogation © HPI is designed to fill the gaps, and create a powerful team of interrogation professionals who finally have the tools to get the job done right. 

THE HISTORY

Our systems were designed to protect elite high-end users overseas, and it will provide the same powerful results here at home. 

 We discovered two major  facts about interrogations that led to the development of the HPI © system:
​
1. Lack of behavior skills are attributable to 80% of failures in interrogations
2. When we instill high-level behavior skills in our operators, results change accordingly.

MAJOR CONCERNS

Chase Hughes created the HPI© in 2014 in order to address major concerns with interrogations and interviews. 
As results improved, we identified 15 critical (and missing) skills in interrogation training programs:
​
1. Understanding nonverbal behavior (2/3 of communication)
2. Understanding the psychology of behavior (2/3 of the scenario)
3. Skills in reading people and scenarios
4. Skills in identifying human needs and fears individually
5. Skills to tailor your behavior to achieve better outcomes
6. Enhanced communication abilities 
7. Advanced knowledge of persuasion and influence
8. Skills to create suggestibility
9. Understanding of obedience and authority
10. Understanding how to communicate authority and composure
11. Advanced skills in rapport development
12. Advanced skills in obtaining final confessions
13. Skills to prepare for the interrogation using behavioral information
14. Deception detection skills
15. Questioning methods

GUARANTEED TO SURPASS ALL OTHER TRAINING

The HPI© system covers these in a comprehensive and interactive three-day course. 
Other systems have missed these critical items, and results show it. HPI© can serve as its own method, or literally be ‘plugged in’ to your current department protocols to bridge critical gaps and improve results.

There is only one major reason that even senior interrogation personnel will ever fail to get a confession; human behavior.

​We've fixed that issue.

CONFESSIONS

While there's tremendous benefit to having a codified system of steps for interrogation, the advanced skills in people-reading, deception detection and compliance-engineering have been missing. 

​The Hughes Protocol (HPI©) is 100% guaranteed to bring new skills that far exceed the capacity of previously taught methods.

​The advanced behavior training in the HPI system is cutting edge, and designed to produce drastically different results in the interrogation room. 

Even seasoned interrogators make mistakes during interrogation, and the proprietary methods in the HPI system are designed to forcefully enhance the ability of even senior interrogators to perform their duties.  The reason that even senior interrogation personnel may not get a confession boils down to a single factor; human behavior. This course provides the most powerful and cutting edge information that can be used in conjunction with ANY current approved system being used by your agency. 
​

• Moving from 10 hours to a confession to 35 minutes
• Generating trust without the old fashioned tactics
• Using interrogator behavior to control the environment, and even suspect physiology
• Identifying deception with much greater accuracy
• Identifying suspect fear and insecurity before the interrogation

FALSE CONFESSIONS

A major issue in any interrogation room; false confessions can have tremendous side effects. The Hughes Protocol gives personnel the skills to not only spot false confessions, but to use human behavior science to prevent them. 

THE GUARANTEE

No fine print.
