Practical De-Escalation and Tactical Conduct

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.

In these times, there is no more high-liability occupation than being a patrol officer. But in order to make those officers successful, it takes a team of highly trained dispatchers, supervisors and training staff. To be on the same page, your team needs to all be trained the same way. That is why we recommend your team attends the Practical De-Escalation and Tactical Conduct course.

Course Curriculum Includes:

• Specific Ways to Operationalize the Many of the Components of De-Escalation and Use of Force Training as Described in SB230
• The New Use of Force Law: Why CA Police Officers Have Been Criminally Charged
