Features
Realistic Interview Practice
PIT simulates suspects and witnesses with distinct personalities, emotional states, and resistance levels. The AI adapts its responses based on your interview technique, creating genuinely challenging practice scenarios.
Adaptive AI Suspects
Suspects react to your approach — build rapport and they open up, pressure them and they clam up or become hostile.
Witness Interviews
Practice cognitive interviewing techniques with AI witnesses who have varying recall and emotional responses.
Voice-Enabled
Speak naturally using your microphone. PIT transcribes your questions in real-time and can respond with synthesised speech.
PEACE Framework Training
Built around the official PEACE model used by UK police forces. PIT teaches and tests your understanding of Planning & Preparation, Engage & Explain, Account, Closure, and Evaluation.
Structured Learning
Work through each PEACE phase with guided exercises and knowledge checks.
Instant Assessment
After each interview, receive detailed feedback on your technique, covering rapport, questioning style, and PEACE compliance.
PIP Level 1 Aligned
Training content drawn from Professionalising Investigation Programme Level 1 interview standards.
Private and Locally Run
PIT runs entirely on your own machine using Docker. No cloud services, no data leaving your computer, no subscriptions. Your training sessions are completely private.
Zero Cloud Dependencies
Everything runs locally — your interview practice never leaves your machine.
GPU Accelerated
Runs on NVIDIA GPUs for fast, fluid responses. Supports multi-GPU setups for the best experience.
Free and Open Source
Built by a former police officer, for educational and training purposes. No paywalls, no hidden costs.

The Framework
The PEACE Model
PIT is built around the PEACE framework — the structured interview model used by UK police forces. Every training mode reinforces these five phases.
Planning & Preparation
Review case materials, identify objectives, plan your questioning strategy, and prepare the interview environment.
Engage & Explain
Build rapport with the interviewee, explain the interview process, and establish the ground rules clearly.
Account
Obtain the interviewee's account through open questions, active listening, probing, and appropriate challenge.
Closure
Summarise key points, give the interviewee a chance to add anything, and explain next steps in the process.
Evaluation
Reflect on the interview's effectiveness, assess the account against evidence, and identify further actions.
Simple Process
How It Works
Four steps from launching PIT to receiving expert-level feedback on your interview technique.
Choose a Mode
Select from suspect roleplay, witness interview, PEACE knowledge testing, assessment, scenario discussion, or special procedures.
Begin Your Interview
Start the interview naturally. Type or speak — PIT captures your questions and approach in real-time.
AI Responds Realistically
The AI adapts its behaviour based on your technique. Build rapport and it cooperates; use pressure and it resists.
Receive Assessment
Get detailed feedback covering PEACE compliance, questioning quality, rapport-building, and areas for improvement.
