This is a state wide conference for the trainers of various law enforcement agencies to gather to explore new skills and trainings to bring back to their respective departments.
NW Crisis Training bases its teachings on the foundation of awareness and strategies to slow down and attempt to de-escalate incidents before they become violent. However, NW Crisis Training, LLC recognizes the realities of our world and the material is built to add another simple tool for end users to utilize for their safety. It is NOT a replacement for, nor meant to be used when violence is present. The classes acknowledge when verbal communication and de-escalation is not the right tool and stress that individuals should shift to a more appropriate response to the threat a person is facing.
The goal at NW Crisis Training is to give people the tools to feel comfortable and be safe while interacting with individuals in crisis. This training goes beyond verbal techniques and provides real world experience in how to recognize rising levels of aggression and then use the most effective means to intervene in those situations.
