Intentional De-Escalation

description:

This 1 day (8 hour) course will provide an in-depth perspective of the de-escalation of force. Students will learn about the history and development of de-escalation techniques, dealing with persons with mental illness, methods for de-escalating violent situations, and the tactical aspects of de-escalation.

The course will include lectures and case studies providing real-life examples and the lessons learned from those prior incidents. Students will participate in dynamic group interactions to reinforce the presented concepts. Students will then cement their learning through scenario-based training that will give students the opportunity to employ the learned techniques.
