Full Description: The Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Police Officer Standards and Training Council’s Field Services Training Division, is cooperation with the Center for Advanced Policing (CAP) at the University of New Haven (UNH), is offering a two-day training seminar titled “De-Escalation Principles and Practice Training.” Instruction will be provided by trainers from the Center for Advanced Policing.

Reducing the unnecessary or avoidable use of force is a significant challenge facing policing today. Policing’s legitimacy is challenged when community members cannot trust the police. This issue has profound effects on the public’s willingness to cooperate with the police, comply with their directives peacefully, and obey the law. The challenge to the policing profession is to ensure that the de-escalation training is efficient, effective, and useful in the field.

The training provided includes a proprietary de-escalation program offered in two modalities, in-person to officers and in-person to train-the-trainers. The training, which incorporates DISC Esoterica®, builds on situational awareness, body language and appropriate approaches and distancing based upon active and passive threats. The training includes verbal judo and procedural justice-based de-escalation and crisis intervention by incorporating rapid personality and threat assessment tools to the officer. The National De-escalation Training Center and its regional centers are the only providers in the country that delivers IADLEST certified level three de-escalation training, which is also approved by the Department of Justice. The training incorporates several actual scenarios that officers will partake in throughout the training.

The training will cover the following topics over two days:
• The subject and the threat environment
• De-escalation fundamentals using procedural justice as a foundation
• Trauma informed policing and crisis intervention
• Integrating personality assessment with de-escalation
• Body language and rapid personality identification
• Active and passive threat stages and safe distancing

Students successfully completing the course will receive 13 Review Training Credit hours in area 312 (De-Escalation).
