Abstract

Being interviewed about an officer involved shooting (OIS) can be a traumatic and anxiety-provoking experience for subject officers. Officers’ accounts of an OIS will be improved by reducing the discomfort experienced and the cognitive load placed on subject officers. Keeping subject officers informed and interviewer demonstrations of procedural justice likely lead to more open engagement and better-quality accounts.
