deescalation training for patrol

Clearly, interventions that we try today, could either land us in prison or send us to the unemployment line.  Though the data doesn't support this, many believe that anytime a law enforcement officer discharges their fire arm, and kills someone, the act was intentional and with malice.  The truth is, this is not true.  However, are you arming yourself with the strategies, techniques, and interventions that could prevent an incident from escalating into a tragedy?  If not, you should.  We will teach you how you should intervene in tense situations, but will will not usurp your policies or training.  We want to provide guidance through strategies that could assist you with better outcomes.  We know, that at times, it's past the point of deescalation, and for this reason, your training is critical.  Every situation can not be deescalated and unfortunately, there will be tragedies.  The purpose of this training is to improve the odds that this potential tragedy will not be yours.  As you debrief, and explain your actions and interventions, the outcome is more in your favor because of your preemptive efforts.
