THE CRISIS / HOSTAGE NEGOTIATION TEAM

The Crisis Negotiation Team is composed of nine members who have special training and experience in communication with armed subjects, suicidal persons, and hostage takers. Crisis Negotiation Team members are on call 365 days per year, 24 hours per day. The Crisis Negotiation Team concentrates on ending violent situations by effectively talking with people and helping them to realize that a peaceful agreement is always the best answer.

The Team is continually involved in training operations with other departments and within our own department.
