| - It involves a team of two interrogators who take apparently opposing approaches to the subject. The interrogators may interview the subject alternately or may confront the subject at the same time. The 'bad cop' takes an aggressive, negative stance towards the subject, making blatant accusations, derogatory comments, threats, and in general creating antipathy between the subject and himself. This sets the stage for the 'good cop' to act sympathetically: appearing supportive, understanding, in general showing sympathy for the subject. The good cop will also defend the subject from the bad cop. The subject may feel he can cooperate with the good cop out of trust and/or fear of the bad cop. He may then seek protection by and trust the good cop and tell him the needed information.
- So, today, we are going to discuss the Good cop/Bad cop interrogation technique. Would you like that? Great! Let's get started. For this technique, you need two cops, a small room and a suspect - that's you! I'm good cop and I want to be your friend. Would you like to be my friend? Let's be friends. Now that we are two friends in one room, we can learn about interrogation techniques.

He may then seek protection by and trust the good cop and tell him the needed information. The technique is easily recognised by those familiar with it, but it remains useful against subjects who are young, frightened, or naïve. Experienced interrogators assess the subject's level of intelligence and experience with the technique prior to its application.

Now that we are two friends in one room, we can learn about interrogation techniques. Ok, before we go any further, I want to introduce you to my partner, Bad cop. Now, I think it is only fair to warn you that while Bad cop is a dedicated, fair and hardworking guy, he can sometimes be a tiny weenie little bit, well, how can I put this... psychotic? It's absolutely nothing to worry about. I'm just laying the foundations here. Nothing more. But there's one more thing. Bad cop can be a bit loose with the curse words. Well, ok, "a bit loose" is putting it mildly. He swears like a trooper. Well, like a trooper that just dropped a car tire on his foot. But I'll tell you what. I'll go over everything that Bad cop says and take out all the curse words and replace them with the word "furry". Then you won't be scared of him at all! Ok? Ciao!
