This training covers the following mandates:
De-escalation Techniques 12.50 + 7.00hrs Scenario hours
Officer Safety Techniques, Including Cover, Concealment, and Time 3.50 + 3.50hrs Scenario hours
COURSE OBJECTIVES: The ITOA Patrol Isolation & De-Escalation End User Course is based on the fact that an effective police response to an individual in a mental health, and/or chemically induced crisis, is enhanced and more effective when first responders have commonalities of philosophy, training, tactics, techniques, equipment, verbiage and capabilities.

COURSE CONTENT: Officers will learn tactics, techniques and procedures that assist them in creating distance, cover, intervening barriers, isolating persons in crisis, less lethal force options, and decision-making. The focus of this course is to provide response approaches and alternatives in cases where the person experiencing a crisis is not in possession of a firearm. Patrol Isolation & De-Escalation involves both classroom and application of tactics and techniques to expand response options and to increase discretionary time to enhance decision-making.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED: Duty great & safety glasses.
