Crisis Hostage Negotiations - Level I

This course will prepare you to work as part of a coordinated negotiation team and handle a variety of crisis situations including hostage takers, barricaded subjects, and suicidal victims.

We’ll discuss when negotiation may not be the best solution, what items are negotiable and non-negotiable, and what to do in non-response situations.
