    This comprehensive, 8-hour, instructor-led course is designed to equip law enforcement personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate high-stress situations with composure, sound judgment, and confidence. Built upon four core safety principles, the training emphasizes not only officer safety, but also the safety of all individuals involved and the broader community.

    Participants will acquire practical techniques to effectively respond, maintain composure, and engage in rational decision-making during emotionally charged encounters. The course provides officers with the ability to identify hooks and triggers to foster empathy, enhance communication, and facilitate peaceful resolutions. Simple, easy-to-apply acronyms are introduced to support rapid assessment and response, guiding officers’ decisions and actions, particularly in high-threat situations.

    Participants will receive hands-on practice of preserving tactical safety while de-escalating intense situations as well as developing a team-based approach to force options (force array).  

    Training components include:

    • Analysis of real-world police response footage
    • Facilitated interactive discussions
    • Scenario-based exercises drawn from actual calls for service

    Delivered in an engaging, high-energy format, this training focuses on practical and immediately applicable tools that not only reinforce officer safety, but also strengthen community trust and public confidence in law enforcement.

    This is a private training and by invite only. Registration code is required. For questions regarding this training or registration, please contact Admin@CRPTinc.org.
