how to become a certified forensic interviewer
Attend a forensic interviewer training program, such as those offered by child advocacy organizations or law enforcement agencies. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, for example, offers short-term training programs that teach participants what to ask and how to interview victims in a way that does not traumatize them. While a doctorate isn't a requirement for forensic interviewing, some agencies enlist licensed psychiatrists or psychologists to conduct follow-up interviews after the initial stages of an investigation.
