Abstract

All composite sketches are done during a standard composite session. The composite session includes drawing and interviewing. The development of composite session skills is directly related to the level of professionalism one obtains. Though drawing is important, it is equally paramount to conduct an organized session and develop good interviewing skills. Even a skilled artist can ultimately fail at conducting a composite session without proper technique. A standard police composite session technique is further revealed with actual case studies. Session and interviewing strategies are explored.
