The program is taught by veteran Oregon officer/instructor Chris Stoaks who has developed one of the most thorough and comprehensive classroom presentations on this critically important topic.
Chris is a Hostage/Crisis Negotiator, CIT Trainer, CISM/Peer Support Team member, and Honor Guard Commander. A U.S. Marine veteran, he went on to earn a B.A. degree in Psychology.
In his classroom presenation, he teaches…
- De-escalation has nothing to do with the use of force.
- There is contact and resolution. De-escalation is what happens in-between.
You will learn that de-escalation is bringing someone who is functioning at a higher level (stress, mental issues, under the influence) down to a calmer, more manageable level. Then, they are more likely to make better choices regarding their present situation.
