Police officers are undergoing training in the use of audio recording devices for interviewing crime suspects.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

But first, the law which will pave the way for this to be admissible as evidence must be passed and published in the\u00a0Gazette, Attorney General Steadroy \u201cCutie\u201d Benjamin has said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the Interviewing of Suspects for Serious Crimes Bill will make it to the next session of parliament having already had its first reading.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

The police force currently uses a handwritten method in which an officer records the questions and answers of the interview.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Training for the advanced method is being conducted at the Sir Wright F George Police Academy by two interview trainers from the United Kingdom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trainer Andy Carr said this will bring Antigua in line with interview techniques which obtain internationally.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

“This equipment maintains the integrity of the interviews and also protects the suspect,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Commissioner of Police, Wendel Robinson is calling for the passage of local legislation governing the use the advanced recording technique.<\/span><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe time is ripe so that we can roll out this methodology of investigation as soon as possible,\u201d Wendell told state media.<\/span><\/p>
