He qualified as a UK Home Office Investigative Interview Trainer in 1996 and has conducted interviews with witnesses, victims, and subjects in connection with complex fraud and corruption matters across multiple jurisdictions. In his current role as a contracted Fraud and Corruption Investigator with the NSW Government, he applies the ‘balance of probabilities’ standard of proof and draws on strategic and tactical approaches to achieve enhanced outcomes in interviews with witnesses, reporters, and investigation subjects.
In addition to his investigative and training roles, Daren is the designer and developer of the TILES System® - the world’s first investigative interviewing software solution.
