This is a 16-hour de-escalation course that helps officers and supervisors minimize violent confrontations by giving them a superior understanding of the law, tactics and human performance limitations.
De-escalation should be more than a training course, it should be a culture. But creating that culture starts with great training. Today’s officers need to know the specific tactics they can use to avoid a violent confrontation. They need a rock-solid understanding of new use of force laws and liability cases so they can make well informed decisions. They deserve a modern, highly-specialized training where the focus is on learning, not checking a box.
Let’s face it, being a law enforcement officer in this day and age is a high-liability occupation. With the right training you can mitigate your own liability. But, don’t forget that the rest of your team can impact how you do business. To make sure everybody is on the same page we recommend that your dispatchers, supervisors and training staff all attend this course as well.
