It's always great to be recognized as a provider of training to a police department by a Mayor. “I’m thrilled to hear about all the training,” Mayor Al Koon said. “That was a lot of training you went through, and I think that’s extremely valuable and improves our department and improves each of our officers.” Read article here: https://www.lexingtonchronicle.com/stories/chapin-police-department-shares-april-2025-report,133223

I recently attended the Blaine, MN. Reid Technique on Investigative Interviewing and Advanced Interrogation and it was more informative and illuminating than I expected right from the start. Decades of experience but new to Investigation, I watched the youtube@THEREIDTECHNIQUETIPS videos online to prepare for my first investigative interview. The information provided on these videos alone helped me get tangible results (written statements) from my two suspects. The in-person training that followed was invaluable, and provided a clear break down of eliciting the who, what, why, when and where in an investigation. The instructor Mike M. did a great job walking the class through the training with examples of these techniques and explaining why they work. Thank you.

I recently attended the class you taught in San Antonio, Texas. I just wanted to thank you again for a great class and let you know that I have already used the Reid Technique for the first time yesterday. This was on a burglary case where I had one suspect identified but had no idea who the other suspect was who wore a ski mask. I followed the program, and even though my suspect adamantly denied any involvement in the crime, I stuck with it. I was able to get a full confession as to his involvement in the burglary, and even got him to give up the identity of the other suspect, who turned out to be a good friend of his. I don’t think I would have gotten this information before attending your class. Thanks again

I was recently in your course hosted by Franklin, TN. I would like to pass along the good news. Before attending your course I was notified by a Detective in Florida he has a suspect in my area for a child rape case. The Florida Detective requested I interview the suspect with little information other than the disclosure of the juvenile victim. This incident took place 5 years ago but was just recently reported. Going into this interview I had little information and no evidence to support the allegations. Keeping in mind the technique from Reid I obtained a confession from the suspect. Watching the signs of deception play out exactly how we discussed in the class was really something else. I thank you for your work in teaching law enforcement a better way of interviewing. It made a difference for this juvenile victim.

I was a student of the Reid Technique for 30 years in law enforcement career. It was the best of the best. I will always admire the success of the technique.

The Reid training was the most…..complete training I have ever received. The techniques are definitely applicable to the types of investigations I conduct and have significantly increased my abilities to investigate cases and obtain truthful information. No question, it was worth every penny.

Whether you are a 2 year frontline officer, or seasoned veteran of 20+ years, the skills and techniques that you acquire through the John E. Reid Courses are priceless. I used them through my entire 37 year career!
