Dear Reid Supporter:
2011 brings a number of exciting changes to Reid. Perhaps the m ost notable change is our REDUCED SEMINAR PRICING for Reid Open Enrollment Seminars. The reduced pricing provides savings of up to 20% from last year's rates. In addition, now only two individuals from an agency need to attend the same Reid Open Enrollment Seminar at the same time for the 'multiple person discount' to apply.
Reduced seminar pricing, updated formats for our Seminar Notices and Investigator Tips, and development of our Reid Facebook Page are are just a few of the changes for 2011. 'Reid News' below lists even more.
Your interest in and support of our training programs is greatly appreciated. We at Reid wish you continued success in conducting your interviews and interrogations and the very best in the New Year.
Sincerely,
Joseph P. Buckley President |

Reid Graduates Solve Missing Person Case - Detective Thomas Martin and Detective Stefan Schindler from the Clayton County Police Department in Georgia recently solved a missing person case using The Reid Technique. As Detective Martin said in an email to our office, "I use the Reid technique all the time and recently got a suspect to confess...and he actually took us to where he put the body. This case was a missing person investigation which led to a homicide at this time." He went on to say, "Without Reid this was not possible on this case and others I have worked in just 6 short months after taking the class." Channel 2 in Atlanta reported on the case. Here is the Story. |

Featured Legal Decision
HOW LONG IS TOO LONG FOR AN
INTERROGATION?
In the case of State v. Campbell, (2009) the Wisconsin Court of  Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision to admit the defendant's confession. On appeal the defendant claimed (among other factors) that "the sheer length of the interrogation" produced a coerced confession. Campbell was interrogated for about 16 hours in three interrogation sessions over several days. In upholding the confession the Appeals court pointed out that "[T]he supreme court [has] declined to adopt a rule that custody and/or interrogation of a given length is inherently coercive." State v. Markwardt, 2007 WI App 242, P 45, 306 Wis.2d 420, 443, 742 N.W.2d 546, 558. In the case, Campbell was questioned for a significant period of time, but this factor alone does not demonstrate improper pressure or coercive tactics when the questioning was accompanied by breaks and appropriate opportunities to eat and sleep."
