Crisis Negotiation Incident

Hostage negotiations are a very dynamic and intricate part of law enforcement. The
training that officers receive in law enforcement can make the difference between a
successful negotiation or a failed one. Part of the training that officers often receive is
reviewing past negotiations. They learn not to make the same mistakes again and learn
from positive things during the negotiation.
Instructions:

• Discuss the negotiation incident, specifically what occurred, who was involved,
mistakes made, actions taken, and the lessons learned.
