Northwest Crisis Training, LLC is rooted in over 20 years of experience with our focus on equipping organizations with practical skills for de-escalation, crisis response, and violence prevention.
Training Philosophy
At NW Crisis Training, our teachings are grounded in the principles of awareness and strategies aimed at slowing down and de-escalating potentially violent incidents. We understand the complexities of today’s environment; therefore, our curriculum is designed to equip participants with practical tools for enhancing their safety.
It is important to note that our training is not intended as a substitute for professional intervention during violent situations. We emphasize the recognition of when verbal communication and de-escalation methods are ineffective, advocating for individuals to adopt more appropriate responses to the threats they may encounter.
Our primary objective is to empower participants with the confidence and skills necessary to safely interact with individuals in crisis. This training transcends basic verbal techniques by providing real-world insights into recognizing escalating aggression and determining the most effective methods for intervention.
NW Crisis Training, LLC offers customized training solutions suitable for all career fields. Our programs can be tailored to meet the specific needs of institutions or individuals, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their training background, can benefit from our offerings.
Consultation Services
Beyond training, NW Crisis Training offers expert consultation to help organizations build safer environments. Services include use of force review and analysis, violence prevention walk-throughs, and policy and procedure development.
In 2024, Patrick earned his Use of Force Instructor/Analyst Certification from the Legal and Liability Risk Management Institute, adding depth in case law and best practices to nearly two decades of law enforcement experience.
