hour

(CIT-B).
This
advanced

will
expand
upon
the

of

Participants
in

Because
officers
have
to
protect
their
own
safety,
as
well
as
the
safety
of
those
around
them,
they
only
have
a
small
amount
of
time
in
which
to
establish
a
communication
mode
that
minimizes
the
risk
of
violence.
Agitated,
not-yet-violent
individuals
can
often
be
directed
away
from
violence
through
the
proper
use
of
communication
skills.
These
techniques,
like
effective

tactics,
are
both
simple
and
