Statement Taking and Interviewing Manchester

Here at Expert Investigations, our police backgrounds give us the experience necessary to carry out effective evidence gathering.

Collecting Witness Statements

We are experts at statement taking and interviewing in Manchester. When you need witnesses interviewing, statements taking, and investigations to prove theft, fraud, bullying or harassment, and employment based allegations, you need an experienced, seasoned Police Detective who knows where and how to take a correct statement. This is the essence of hiring a private investigator. There is a real skill in taking a proper statement. If you have not come from a Police background, how can you have learned how to make a proper statement? 95% of private investigators cannot take a proper witness statement of evidence.

Expert Investigations Statement Taking And Interviewing Manchester

Here at Expert Investigations, our police backgrounds give us the experience necessary to carry out effective evidence gathering. With our experience in interviewing, we can help build a solid case for an HR team to use in their internal investigations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can A Statement Be Used As Criminal Evidence?

YES. Depending on the nature of the issue being investigated and the client’s desired outcome. As a matter of fact, this will dictate how the statement will be used.

There are two types of statements of evidence: a Police style Section 9 statement and a civil one. Different rules apply to each statement.

Can A Witness Refuse To Give A Statement?

In theory, ‘yes,’ but our experience shows the majority do give statements. They can be given anonymously, therefore not identifying the witness.
Our team put the witness at ease and take them through a step by step process, so the witnesses are comfortable giving their statements. In summary, as former Police Detectives, we have taken 1000s of statements over our careers.

Is A Witness Statement Confidential?

That depends on the nature of the investigation. If this will be a matter that will be going to court then the witness statement may be used in the court evidence. In an internal investigation, it will generally be confidential. As a result, a witness statement can be given anonymously and not identify the witness.

After that, the witness should always be given a detailed explanation of what the statement is for and the potential use and identification of the witness.

Why Choose Expert Investigations?

Our Police team are all former Police Detectives with a 30 year Police career conducting serious investigations, taking statements of evidence and looking after witnesses. As private investigators, we have been taking witness statements for 22 years. Our witnesses have helped jail employee thieves and fraudsters, have helped in the dismissal of employees for malpractice and we support Solicitors in interviewing and statement taking.
