Certified Forensic Interviewer (CFI), an internationally recognized professional designation for the field of interview and interrogation, is focused on advancing professionalism and establishing recognized standards of excellence. It is more important now than ever to be sure the skills an interviewer uses are as up-to-date and legally sound as possible. To achieve this, the CFI designation has created a global standard for an objective set of standards to evaluate, measure, and certify the skill level of professional interviewers.
