Bryan Barlow, CFI, joined the Chicago Police Department in 2002 and was promoted to Detective in 2008, where he conducted a wide variety of investigations around the city. Currently, Barlow serves as a training coordinator and instructor for the CPD’s Bureau of Detectives, where he has researched, written curriculum and delivered training to new officers, newly promoted detectives and in-service department members on investigatory topics such as interviewing Victims and Witnesses, Interrogation of Suspects and Trauma-Informed Interviewing, with a focus on interviewing sexual assault victims. Barlow holds a B.A. degree from the University of Oklahoma and an M.B.A. from Loyola University Chicago, and is a veteran of the U.S. Army. He will be presenting “When ‘Just the Facts’ Doesn’t Work – Trauma-Informed Interviewing” at Elite Training Days 2021. Trying to gather information from traumatized individuals can be difficult. Interviewing victims of street crime, workplace violence, someone who has been involved in a major accident or suffered a severe personal loss can often be frustrating, especially when the regular information-gathering: asking the who, what, when, where and why, doesn’t allow us to put together a complete picture. This difficulty stems from the effect traumas have on the brain of a trauma survivor. This segment will discuss how trauma affects the brain of an individual, and will discuss effective strategies to interview trauma survivors in a victim-centered, trauma-informed manner in order to obtain the best information available to aid in the conduct of investigations.
