Course Description:
This course will further enhance the knowledge and skills acquired in the Crisis Hostage Negotiation Level I – Basic course, or its 40-hour equivalent. Theme-based Crisis Negotiation, Developing Deliberate Strategy, Using Third-party Intermediaries and Interpreters, Advanced Communication, Tactical Considerations and High-Element Negotiation and are among the intermediate topics.
Theme-based Crisis Negotiation requires the negotiator to develop strategies which incorporate a subject’s motivation, values, needs, hopes, and fears – all of which may impact crisis intervention and ultimately resolution. You will learn how to apply conversational themes to build rapport and influence as well as how to apply resolution themes to lower the barriers for a compliant surrender.
There will be an in-depth discussion of deliberate strategy that features concepts of risk assessment, structured brainstorming and decision-making as they relate to crisis negotiation. Included is this block is a dynamic table-top exercise that challenges teams to consider critical elements in developing a meaningful team-oriented strategy.
The use of third-party intermediaries (TPIs) is a frequent consideration in police stand-offs. An in-depth discussion introduces the use of a TPI vetting tool which is later reinforced during practical exercises.
In regard to the hostages involved, we will show you how to interpret the behavior of hostages while in captivity and techniques you can use when dealing with them directly. The consideration of hostages when developing a deliberate strategy will be explored as well as considerations for managing released hostages.
Uniquely presented in this program are advanced techniques related to the questions posed to subjects and appropriate responses based on the “Bunches of Five.” You will learn how to say “no,” how to show empathy, and how to keep dialogue moving forward in a positive direction.
We will discuss in depth tactical considerations during crisis incidents involving high-risk warrant service, hostage taking and barricaded subject incidents.
We will examine Subject Precipitated Homicide, Suicide-by-Cop, and behaviors meant to compel law enforcement to respond with deadly force. You will learn how to assess behavior, evaluate risk, and apply techniques in consideration of behavior and risk.
Lastly, situations that create unique challenges for law enforcement, such as jumpers from bridges, cell towers and overpasses, will be among the advanced concepts discussed. You will also learn guidelines for scene management and working with rescue personnel at the scene.
Challenging, team-oriented, scenario-driven practical exercises are an integral part of the course and will allow you the opportunity to practice and refine your crisis negotiation skills.
