FYI - Other Training Opportunities

Investigator Tip Addressing the Suspect's Behavior January - February 2014 The year has begun with a busy schedule and some seminars already filled to capacity.  I want to say congratulations and thank you to our latest seminar co-host to achieve full capacity seating, Michigan State Police Training Academy.  Your efforts and support of our training programs is appreciated.   Besides a busy schedule of seminars scheduled throughout the United States and other countries, we've also developed three online training programs you can take from your personal computer.  You can find more information about the online programs by following the links below. We continue to develop training manuals and books to help you further your education in interviewing & interrogation techniques.  Our newest book, A Field Guide to The Reid Technique, is now available.  You can read more about this book below.  Visit our store at www.reid.com to review all of the books, videos, manuals and other helpful resources we've developed. Speaking of resources, we've highlighted Reid Instructor, Lou C. Senese.  He has been with Reid for over 40 years and just recently published an article onPoliceOne.com titled, An Interrogator's Mindset: "It's Not Personal. It's Business."   We hope you enjoy this tip and all the information we've shared and developed over the past 67 years.  The continuous improvement of our program and information as well as your support is what has made us the World Leader in Interviewing & Interrogation Training!   Sincerely, Joe Buckley John E. Reid & Associates, Inc.   Addressing the Suspect's Behavior    It is human nature to cite a person's behavior as evidence to support some underlying premise. It is an enticing argument to state that because one exhibits an observable behavior it is proof of some consequent conclusion. Consider the following examples of reaching conclusions based on observed behavior: "If you were in proper shape you wouldn't be huffing and puffing the way you are." "I could tell by the way you two were looking at each other that it was love at first sight." "You're really quiet tonight. Something's got to be bothering you." "You can't even look at me when you answer my questions. What are you not telling me?" "Why are you smiling? Do you think this is funny?" "Only guilty people run from the police!" This web tip is not about interpreting another person's observed behavior, but rather whether or not it is appropriate or productive to bring a suspect's attention to his or her observed behavior. During the course of a typical interview or interrogation, an investigator has many opportunities to openly address the suspect's behavior. Some of these efforts will be productive and lead to developing additional information or even a confession. In other instances, this same tactic may cause a suspect to resent the investigator or to psychologically withdraw, resulting in non-cooperation and an unsuccessful resolution of the investigation.  The following are guidelines as to when it is appropriate to address the suspect's observed behavior: Continue reading here.   A Field Guide to The Reid Technique   This new 427 page reference text offers detailed information applying The Reid Technique to unique and specific issues encountered during the course of an investigation. Preface Since 1998 the authors have written articles called "web tips" which were posted on the website of John E. Reid and Associates. These web tips covered topics ranging from behavior symptom analysis and interviewing techniques to interrogation procedures and updates on legal decisions. In total, more than 130 web tips have been posted. The spontaneity of the Internet allowed the authors to address contemporary issues and maintain updated information on detection of deception research and case law. The topics of many of these web tips were selected as a result of questions asked by participants attending our three or four day training seminars on The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation. Consequently, they address issues investigators frequently encounter when conducting interviews or interrogations. This field guide was developed to organize and index information from these articles in a manner that allows investigators to efficiently find answers to common questions relating to interviewing and interrogation practices and issues. Additionally, this field guide serves as a resource to refresh and reinforce our readers with some of the fundamental information learned during our seminars, while at the same time expanding on that material with some advanced concepts. The information within these articles represents our most current views on interviewing and interrogation, as well as addressing the most recent court decisions and expert opinions relating to The Reid Technique.  In preparing this Field Guide, we have assumed that the reader has some familiarity with The Reid Technique, either by having attended one of our training programs or by reading our text book, Criminal Interrogation and Confessions, 5th edition, 2013. If the reader has not done either, some of the material may not be understood in the proper context.  Click here for Table of Contents and ordering information.   About Instructor  Lou C. Senese After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Northern Illinois University, Louis began training at John E. Reid & Associates, Inc. in 1972.  In 1973 he became a state licensed polygraph examiner in Illinois and two years later received his Master of Science degree in Detection of Deception from Reid College.  After eight years as a staff polygraph examiner, he was promoted to Chief Polygraph Examiner and Vice President of the firm.  He was responsible for overseeing 7,000 to 8,000 interviews and interrogations and has testified in federal and state courts as well as employment hearings.  He later became involved in the seminar division and has conducted hundreds of training seminars on The Reid Technique, including specialized training programs throughout the U.S. as well as in Belgium, Canada, The Czech Republic, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and South Korea.  He has authored the book, Anatomy of Interrogation Themes (2005). Lou's sense of humor as well as his practical way of instruction has made him one of our most sought-after speakers.

Senese Three New Online Training ProgramsAvailable for Purchase The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation for Criminal Justice Students (Parts 1 - 7) The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation for Investigators (Parts 1 - 7)  The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation for School Administrators  (Parts 1 - 7) Testimonial from a Reid Seminar Attendee When I went to the Reid Basic interview and interrogation class I returned and was confronted by three deputies who had interviewed a female in reference to taking checks from a mailbox and writing them. The three had no luck in obtaining a confession. I was told "You went to this interview and interrogation class, show us it works." I obtained a copy of the case file and reviewed it. I met with the suspect and began to work, within 5 minutes she was crying and gave a full confession. I thought this was a fluke. I continued with the Reid program and noticed my confession rate almost doubled within a very short period of time. Since I have attended the Advanced Reid class I have again raised my confession rate. In multiple instances my interview and interrogation has followed other attempts and resulted in confession. I feel this is one of, if not the best and most useful class I have attended in my 20 years. Thanks Reid, you've made interviewing and interrogation more productive. I have recommended this training to any LEO that would listen. I have had a lot of "Thanks for the tip" since.
