Complete TQ Training in Approaches
Recommendation
The tactical questioning and interrogation courses must train students adequately in all approaches that they may be required to use operationally. The current compromise whereby tactical questioning students are given an idea of the harsh approach but not trained fully in it should cease.
Published Evidence Summary
The following publicly available evidence relates to this recommendation:
The Ministry of Defence stated in September 2011 that tactical questioning (TQ) and interrogation courses now provide complete training in all authorised operational approaches, ending the previous compromise. The recommendation was recorded as completed by September 2012 based on the MoD's response. No specific details of the updated course content or further published evidence have been identified since 2012.
