Crisis & Hostage Training Reviews

The class gave a great overview of negotiations and tactics to utilize. I think it’ll be a good foundational course for anyone looking to get involved in negotiations.

Good course. Will recommend

Great class, great instructors and great tactics every dispatcher should learn and think about!

Course was very informative, professional and provide valuable resources that students can use/refer to as they implement the course material.

Good overview of NJ UOF / barricade addendum in reference to critical incidents

Great insight to this course for being a recently promoted supervisor. Training like this should be implemented at each department, year round.

I enjoyed the class. I would have liked to do more practicals and less lecturing.

Acceptable class. Appeared to be a continuation of basic dispatcher course for those with experience. Felt
More reminded of things and reinforcement then learned any new information.

Class was very informative and engaging.

Vinnie is a great instructor and the course material was solid.

Class is very beneficial and gives you a good understanding of the initial response to a barricaded subject.

Good class, bridges the gap between the patrol supervisor and tactical commander.

Good use of “older” cases to show relation to the application of incident management in todays climate.

De-escalation by far is not a new concept but this class is the first of my experience to call it an outcome versus a tactic. In the event of an immediate threat use of force is still required but at the end of the incident everyone will still need to deescalate back to “normal” operating mode.
