The book, Interrogations, Confessions, and Entrapment, Volume 20, by G. Daniel Lassiter, contains the following:
"...to be sure, many urban police have received general instruction in interrogation methods and the law since the 1930s and 1940s as part of their basic academy training.
But specialized interrogation training courses did not appear until 1974 when Reid & Associates began offering introductory courses.
Since then, interrogation training has been a regular feature of detective training, and has become institutionalized in police work more generally.
....As with Inbau and Reid interrogation training manual, Reid & Associates have become the most influential training center for professional interrogators in the United States.
Reid & Associates advertise that these courses are "on the cutting edge of the most sophisticated and updated material on interrogation offered anywhere" and their students "will received training from instructors" who are "considered some of the best interrogators in the world" (Reid, 1994).
