The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners – Arizona Chapter, as a service to our members, has negotiated with Reid & Associates to offer a discounted fee for their 3-day and 4-day courses in Phoenix from May 2 – 6, 2006

John E. Reid & Associates has been conducting training seminars on The Reid Technique of Interviewing and Interrogation since 1974, and have trained over 300,000 investigators in the art of interviewing and interrogation. In the world of fraud investigation professionals, the Reid Technique is considered the cream of the crop and is now the most widely used approach to question subjects in the world.

The 3-day training seminar features a discussion of three primary topics: Behavior Symptom Analysis (the verbal and nonverbal behavioral characteristics which can be used to distinguish a truthful person from a deceptive individual); the Behavior Analysis Interview (a non-accusatory interview process utilizing both investigative and behavior provoking questions); and, The Reid Nine Steps of Interrogation. The 4-day seminar consists of our 3 day regular seminar followed by our 1 day advanced seminar. The advanced program focuses on developing interrogation strategies, including how to psychologically profile subjects for the interrogation; how to handle defiant suspects; how to effectively use bonding statements; and, how to address such situations as juvenile interrogations and interrogations which focus on guilty knowledge.

The 3-day training session is $395 per person (a savings of $155 per person).  The 4-day training session is $570 per person (a savings of $180 per person).
