Incident
Investigation -- Tips, Techniques & Trivia
I'm winding up a bit of a road trip holiday and
am back to work in a few days. My first scheduled public webinar
on Incident Investigation Basics goes on Wednesday June 16th.

What did our witness see?
When the police in Britain interview witnesses
they are required to apply the "ADVOKATE" test and question
the witness explicitly on these matters. I think the acronym is
a good reminder for conducting safety based investigations. Did
our witness have a split second glance under poor viewing conditions
or did he have an unobstructed view of the people and their actions?
A - Amount of time under observation: How long did the witness
have the person/incident in view?
D - Distance: What was the distance between the witness and the
person/incident?
V - Visibility: What was the visibility at the time? Factors include
time of day, street lighting, etc.
O - Obstruction: Were there any obstructions to the view of the
witness?
K - Known or seen before: Did the witness know, or had the witness
ever seen, the person before? If so, where and when?
A - Any reason to remember: Did the witness have any special reason
for remembering the person/incident? Was there something specific
that made the person/incident memorable?
T - Time lapse: How long has elapsed since the witness saw the
person/incident?
E - Error or material discrepancy: Are there any errors or material
discrepancies between descriptions in the first and subsequent
accounts of the witness

Incident
Investigation Basics
(Web Based Training)
The
technology (GoToTraining.com) used in this training is sound and
easy for clients to utilize; from my end it's somewhat like piloting
a small aircraft. Sessions can be accessed by individuals at their
computer or using web based conferencing it can be delivered in
house to groups or teams. The first session is scheduled for mid
June with two additional sessions to follow in each of July and
August.
Now
from my perspective it's a case of "build it and they will
come (or not)".
