Your officers will be introduced to strategies that will give them the tactical advantage while dealing with a subject, but especially a subject in crisis. Based on the principles of ICAT (Integrating Communication Assessment and Tactics) they will be shown how to apply police intervention in a process that attempts to slow the interaction down. Police encounters at times can be volatile. De-escalation focuses on the time, distance and conversation the officers need to have with the subject to gain the tactical advantage to bring this encounter to a conclusion that is safe for the subject, general public and the officer.
