ABOUT US
OUR MISSION
We exist to provide every investigator with the knowledge, skills and proficiency to compel a confession during every interview.
EVOLUTION OF SUBCONPOLY
For decades, the accepted strategy behind successful interview and interrogation involved applying pressure, force, stress and intimidation. Interviewers were taught to overcome resistance with overwhelming pressure to gain the information they wanted and gain confessions. In recent years, this strategy has come under heavy criticism as unreliable and resulting in inaccurate information. In many cases, confessions were deemed unreliable because they were viewed as compelled rather than offered freely.
Our research and experimentation have revealed what truly motivates people to tell what they really know. Through decades of successful application and experimentation, we have developed a minimally adversarial and cooperative method of nurturing a person's memory, drawing out hidden information and encouraging the person to reveal what they know without coersion or conflict.
