This course is designed for peace officers in need of, or interested in, developing basic crisis negotiation skills. It includes critical information for law enforcement agencies that do not have the immediate availability of negotiator resources, and are developing internal resources. We discuss team organization and various protocols and skill sets necessary to respond to crisis situations, which can involve hostage-taking, barricaded mentally ill subjects, suicide by COP, peace officers in crisis who take hostages, domestic violence calls, and more.
