Why interrogation data is underutilised, and how that hurts investigations.
Every interrogation produces far more than answers to questions. It produces context, behaviour, relationships, timelines, contradictions, and clues that often never make it into final case summaries.
Across police stations and investigative units, thousands of interrogation reports are created every year. Each one captures hours of human interaction, observations, admissions, deflections, and associations. Yet once a case moves forward, these reports are frequently archived, filed away, or reduced to a few extracted points.
