De-Escalation: A New Perspective for Law Enforcement Leaders
4-hour presentation available online or in person
Are you ready for an eye-opener? Learn the real issues harming our profession and how to minimize common and costly mistakes that lead to lawsuits. If you’re a chief, sheriff, or administrator who is looking for ways to better protect and serve your officers, agency, and community, this presentation is for you!
While de-escalation training is important, an officer who has received traditional de-escalation training is still susceptible to escalating a police-citizen contact. This phenomenon, which we refer to as “officer-induced escalation”, is exacting a far greater toll on the law enforcement profession overall than the failure to de-escalate.
That’s why an expanded version of de-escalation training is needed now more than ever.
Based on community policing and procedural justice, this presentation offers law enforcement leaders a new perspective on de-escalation training and exposes what the profession is currently missing.
