CrimeCon 2026

Have you ever watched a horror movie, screaming at the screen, as a creepy figure always catches up to the running victim? You keep yelling, “run faster!” But time and time again the movie never seems to disappoint, with the tormenter catching their tormented.

And have you ever watched a police interview, wondering why a suspect thinks they can talk their way out of something they got themselves into? Why do victims and witnesses trust the police to give important information that can solve a case? It all comes down to the interviewer - they must set that stage and get people talking.

In this eye-opening session, retired FBI agent Scott Duffey pulls back the curtain to teach you some of the tricks of the trade of law enforcement, revealing the basic steps of preparing for and entering The FBI Interview Room. Learn what it takes to execute a plan to get someone to talk - and possibly confess to a crime. You’ll learn what it takes to prepare for talking with a suspect who is on the opposite side of the fence. You’ll learn the skills it takes to prep as an FBI Interviewer and how they "set the scene." These basic FBI interview skills are vital in preparing for any professional interview and starting a conversation in your own home, with your own kids, making new friends, disarming neighborly disputes or fighting over parking spaces. They're important not only when it matters to obtain information about a crime, but for everyday life’s challenges.

It’s a must-see session, where you’ll learn how to read people, forge good relationships, and have the confidence to get through a job interview or any other every day conversation.
