If you can’t interview, you’ll have trouble convincing anyone that you can investigate – it’s probably the key skill for everyone involved in the process. We offer a variety of interviewing training at various levels. If you’re interviewing witnesses, dealing in volume crime, involved in enforceing street crime or lookng at more serious offences, we’ve got the course for you – the links below will take you to the relevant course information sheets.

All of these courses can be run ‘in house’ for and some are run regularly as open events – drop us an email and we’ll be in touch with further information.

PACE Codes of Practice

“Persons other than police officers who are charged with the duty of investigating offences or charging offenders shall in the discharge of that duty have regard to any relevant provision of a code.”

As at February 2020, these were the PACE codes currently in force :

• Code A – 2015 version
• Code B – 2013 version
• Code C – 2019 version
• Code D – 2017 version
• Code E – 2018 version
• Code F – 2018 version
• Code G – 2012 version
• Code H – 2019 version

You can download the latest codes from the gov.uk site https://www.gov.uk/guidance/police-and-criminal-evidence-act-1984-pace-codes-of-practice. (Note that codes E & F are actually a single pdf download.)

If you’re unfamiliar with the new codes, you might want to consider a Law Update course…
