In this course, law enforcement officers will learn strategies and techniques to de-escalate incidents and intervene in situations involving fellow officers. Participants will gain insight into how emotions can affect decision-making. Additionally, participants will learn about de-escalating situations with people in a behavioral health crisis. Active listening and other communication techniques will be emphasized. Participants will participate in scenario-based exercises to practice and demonstrate their understanding of de-escalation and intervention.
This course is designed to respond to an evolving threat landscape in the United States. As incidents of targeted violence continue to increase, the perpetrators of these incidents are often not ideologically motived and do not appear to fit the definition of a terrorist. Perpetrators of these incidents are often responding to a perceived grievance, which can vary in nature. The ID-TERC builds upon the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative (NSI), expanding beyond potential acts of terrorism, and provides a methodology for violence prevention that trains partners to identify, investigate, assess, and manage threats to homeland security, regardless of motive.
