Witness evidence often plays a vital role in the investigative process. This chapter focuses on the initial contact with the witness. We explore what type of information is typically sought at this first point of police contact and how the goals of eliciting information at an early stage of an investigation differ from the goals of subsequent interviews. A range of relevant issues are explored, including factors that should be considered when eliciting an initial account, whether the format (written versus spoken) of the initial account matter and whether the quality of the initial account might affect the quality of subsequent accounts. The research presented throughout the chapter clearly and consistently highlights the benefits of obtaining a good‐quality initial account for all stages of an investigation.
