APPLICATION OF THE REID TECHNIQUE TO ACTUAL CASES

During our training seminars, participants frequently comment on the benefit of being able to see the videotaped interviews and interrogations of actual suspects. These products (available in CD-ROM or VHS format) present a case background and then the full interviews of possible suspects. If the suspect is deceptive, the interrogation is also presented.

While actors were used to play the role of suspects, they studied the original videotaped interview and interrogations to mimic the behavior of the actual suspect. The interviewer / interrogator is David M. Buckley who has over 20 years of interviewing experience. Dave has conducted over 8000 interviews and interrogations, and is one of our senior instructors. The interview questions and responses, along with interrogation statements were all derived from the actual case. The result is a near replica of the original case.
