Tactical de-escalation training is designed to improve an officer’s response to individuals who are experiencing a crisis, behaving erratically, or exhibiting a high emotional state.  The core principals of de-escalation involve time, effective communication, self-control, and the utilization of proper force options.  When conducted properly, de-escalation tactics can increase the safety of both the public and the officer.

Many agencies have implemented classroom-based de-escalation training.  This advanced de-escalation course is designed to transition officers from the classroom to reality-based practical scenarios.  The scenarios are carefully designed to replicate real-life situations where de-escalation tactics were both effective and not effective.  Simunitions will be utilized to induce levels of stress that officers experience in the field.
