Crisis Intervention/Negotiation with Fellow Officer and Returning Veterans

This course is hosted by the Puyallup Police Department.

The most lethal aspect of police work is suicide. The suicidal fellow officer presents one of the most complex threats a law enforcement agency can face. This presentation outlines predisposing factors of police suicide, factors affecting risk and strategies for an effective intervention. PTSD and the high suicide rate within Department of Defense demand a closer look at the law enforcement response to a veteran in crisis. We will also explore, in-depth, the psychological wounds of veterans as it relates to crisis intervention as well as specific negotiation strategies for mitigation.
