Rapport-Based Intelligence Collection (R-BIC) is a research-based, science-backed and field-tested interrogation and interview training. R-BIC was developed via a partnership of scientists and intelligence professionals to more effectively enable law enforcement and military/intelligence professionals to obtain valid, actionable information. R-BIC methods have been shown to be more effective than techniques that are physically, mentally or emotionally aggressive or coercive, which includes everything from “good cop/bad cop” to torture.
R-BIC is based on groundbreaking research and scientific data derived from the U.S. High-Value Detainee Interrogation Group (HIG), a multi-agency intelligence group established in 2009 to conduct strategic intelligence interviews worldwide and to sponsor research on how to improve interview techniques.
Training courses include:
- Core Interview Skills
- Decision-Making & Planning
- Strategic Interviewing
- Rapport Building
- Cognitive Interview
- Dealing with Resistance
- Detecting Deception
- Leadership Communication Skills
- Working Effectively with Informants
R-BIC helps law enforcement officers and agents move from a fear-based relationship with the public to more of a trust-based relationship.
