This two-day negotiation class is for police crisis (hostage) negotiators who have already passed a 40-hour basic certification course. Day one will review basic (active listening) and advanced (influence and persuasion) negotiator skills, and will use callout debriefings from the instructor’s past experience as examples. Day two will cover the advanced topics of negotiating with different psychiatric conditions, and will focus on negotiating with those who are personality disordered and/or empathy impaired. A 15-hour hostage standoff debriefing from the instructor’s past experience will serve as an example.
