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:

• Tactical Conduct: Pre-Contact Assessments, Incident Coordination and Decision Making
• New Use of Force Laws: Why Police Officers Are Being Criminally Charged
• Creating the Conditions for Successful De-Escalation
• Videos of De-Escalation Successes and Failures
• Human Performance Factors Affecting Officers and Suspects
• The Public Duty Doctrine: Avoiding the Trap of a False Constraint

Lt. David Bautista (San Diego PD (CA)) and Lt. John Morris (Winston-Salem PD (NC)(ret.)) are not only highly-experienced law enforcement professionals, but also expert instructors. Their command over new laws, modern tactics, human factors, and the science of learning has led to the development of this one-of-a-kind training course. John and David are laser-focused on helping police officers save lives and prevent liability through the use of superior tactics, knowledge of the law, and deep understanding of decision making.
