John E. Reid (1910–1982) was an American polygraph researcher and practitioner who helped develop the Reid technique of interrogation.[1]
After a law degree from DePaul University in Chicago, he joined the Chicago Police Department in 1936. In 1940 he began work at the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory directed by Fred Inbau, a lawyer from Northwestern University which had previously owned the lab. Reid was trained in the polygraph, and in 1947 he left to set up his own company. He would later collaborate with Inbau on influential textbooks on interrogation.
