The De-escalation for Law Enforcement Course is a practical introductory course of instruction for law enforcement personnel, CIT Officers and Crisis Negotiators and Co-Responders and is presented in the context of the Scaled Crisis Response Model as the first step in mitigating a crisis event.

This course prepares students to recognize factors for influencing and managing difficult or verbally abusive, resistant, or non-compliant subjects.

Understanding the impact of crisis thinking on brain function as well as recognizing the context through which many responders will be perceived will help students mitigate the negative effects of misperception and crisis thinking.

Students will learn how over-reaction or under-reaction can adversely impact the outcome of an incident by causing an incident to escalate, re-escalate, or by creating circumstances in which there is an unintended use-of-force or an unintended outcome.

By understanding the impact of words, students will recognize and learn how to manage their own personal verbal triggers.

An in-depth discussion of the role of vigilance, hyper-vigilance, crisis rehearsal, threat assessment and personal

readiness will prepare students to adopt a mindset conducive to effective, safe, and legally defensible actions.

One of the most relevant aspects of de-escalation is assessing and managing scene dynamics – from the initial call to 9-1-1 to the patrol response and ultimately to a safe resolution. Students will learn practical and effective steps to reduce the negative energy or circumstances which often set the stage for an escalation of emotions and violent behavior.

Also included in the discussion, is the timely and relevant topic of governmental interest as it relates to law enforcement’s mitigation efforts.

Step-by-step tips for managing verbal abuse and resistance will aid students in a more thoughtful and productive approach for de-escalation and lastly, students will learn how to manage verbal non-compliance.

To close out the training event, students will participate in individual and group activities and role-playing vignettes wherein they will have opportunities to practice the skills covered in the lecture/discussion portion of the training.
