Anyone on here ever go through one? Are they worth it? Or is it just another company looking to get money from LE agency training budgets?

I attended one a couple years ago in Mesa, Arizona. I loved it. I thought it was good stuff. However, it's just watching videos and sitting. I kind of wish we got to do practicals, but I do use some of the stuff I learned in the field. It's not a miracle worker, but I thought it was better than other classes I have taken.

Went through basic and advanced class a few years ago. Its good but not the only style. If you aren’t an investigator or detective doing interviews in a room don’t go. If you’re a street guy get better at just talking then progress to roadside interview training.Where'd you learn that, Cheech? Drug school?

Reid has a patrol-level course now... one hour online."I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." -- GEN George S. Patton, Jr.

Ill probably talk my department into paying for the hour course ($99) and decide if I want to push for the 4day course.Last edited by tanksoldier; 12-17-2020, 09:10 PM."I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." -- GEN George S. Patton, Jr.

Everything else it's up to the individual department whether to accept training or not.
...and from what I've read all the false confessions and other problems were a result of misusing the technique.

I've also read about objections to the "alternative question" tactic: you offer two possible explanations for the crime, one of which is more socially acceptable but both of which are confessions, without offering the third alternative: that the suspect didn't commit the crime at all. I can see why a defense attorney would argue that but I'm unaware of any right to have the cops provide all the possible answers.
This is actually a tactic I've used for years before I ever heard of Reid.
...and I'm aware of the lawsuits and settlements, but lots of settlements get made in lots of lawsuits with no actual wrongdoing involved.
I'll have to take the course and see what I think myself."I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." -- GEN George S. Patton, Jr.

In my experience Reid codifies some things you already know and puts them in a format that will work on certain people. Unless you normally find yourself interrogating teachers, bankers, accountants or other people with socially respectable positions, it will be of limited usefulness.

Like anything it's a tool in the toolbox I suppose."I am a Soldier. I fight where I'm told and I win where I fight." -- GEN George S. Patton, Jr.
