Modern Crisis Negotiations

As a crisis negotiator, everybody is counting on you to know the right thing to say to prevent a tragic outcome. But many negotiators feel unprepared to be in the hot seat when the stakes are literally life and death. At the Savage Training Group, our instructors are active-duty negotiators who teach simple concepts that actually work. Our Modern Crisis Negotiations course gives negotiators the confidence they need to save lives.

Our instructors are team leaders on a busy urban team, so they know exactly what works and what doesn’t. They’ll share with you what techniques and equipment they used last week, not 20 years ago!

You’ll see recent body-cam video of actual incidents and work through table-top scenarios all while our expert instructors guide you.
