The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation® For Loss Prevention and Corporate Security Personnel is a three-day workshop specifically designed for corporate security, loss prevention, asset protection professionals, auditors and human resources personnel.
Participants will learn The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation, widely recognized as the most effective means available to exonerate the innocent and identify the guilty. The workshop is based on the basic tenet of the Reid Technique, as taught by John E. Reid and Associates, that a custodial suspect must be advised of his rights prior to any questioning about a criminal act.
The last day is designed to build on the information learned and particular emphasis is placed on how to elicit information from the suspect during the interview stage that will serve as the basis for developing an individualized interrogational approach, based on the suspect’s profile and characteristics. Without exception, past participants have commented on the value of the advanced techniques learned which give them a better understanding of the interrogation process, and allow them to enhance their skill level by learning new techniques and tactics.
Information is the most valuable resource for any professional that has to solve problems, make decisions and identify and select talent. Getting to that information is not an easy task especially when you have to extract it from the minds of others. The Reid methodology is a tried and tested method that enables professionals to extract that type of high value information effortlessly. The techniques on which it is based stem from the field of law enforcement and security but have also been effectively applied to areas such as human resources especially when recruiting for positions of trust for businesses, law enforcement and government agencies and also when conducting disciplinary or audit processes.
This specialized interrogation training workshop is designed for law enforcement and government investigators, corporate security and loss prevention professionals interested in determining factual information for loss prevention issues and/or employee investigations.
Corporate clients worldwide from industries including legal, hospitality, gaming industry, audit, finance & banking, oil & gas, airlines, etc. regularly attend these workshops.

"When asked which vendors they rely on most for building their own skills and that of staff, a whopping 80% of security pros cited John E. Reid and Associates."(Dec. 2002 IOMA Security Director's Report)
John E. Reid and Associates, Inc. was established in 1947 to provide detection of deception services and training programs for clients in the business, police and legal communities. Because of their success in solving cases where there is little or no evidence, Reid and Associates is recognized as the pre-eminent experts in the specialized fields of interviewing, interrogation and the polygraph technique.
The Reid Technique of Interviewing® and Interrogation is now the most widely used approach to question subjects in the world. The content of their instructional material has continued to develop and change over the years. John E. Reid and Associates is the only organization that can teach the current version of their training program on The Reid Technique®.
The accumulated experience level of John E Reid instructors exceeds 250 years, during which time they have conducted over 75,000 interviews and interrogations. Many of the staff hold a Masters of Science Degree in the Detection of Deception.

Their book, Criminal Interrogation and Confessions (4th edition, 2001) is considered by the courts and practitioners to be the standard for interviewing and interrogation techniques. The book has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Turkish. In June 2004 in the case of Missouri v. Seibert, the United State Supreme Court referenced John E.
