  COURSE DESCRIPTION:

  
  

  This course will further enhance the knowledge and skills you acquired in IPTM’s Hostage Crisis Negotiations–Level I course, or its 40-hour equivalent. As advanced negotiation concepts are introduced, the primary focus shifts to team building and team roles and responsibilities. In addition, we will take an in-depth look at a subject’s psychological state and examine methods to de-escalate situations involving subjects displaying psychosis/psychotic behavior and schizoid affective disorders, domestic violence and the cycle of violence, paranoid personality types and avoidance/dependent personality disorders to achieve cooperation.

  
  

  Communication techniques are the primary means of event resolution. Therefore, a continual study and practice of communication skills developed during the basic course of training will be enhanced.   We will also discuss uniquely challenging events for responders and negotiators – such as murder/suicide, suicide-by-cop, locational suicidal activity, planned stand-offs, annihilators and domestic violence crises – and explore methods for resolution.

  
  

  You will have an opportunity to practice and advance your negotiation skills with more complex scenario-based practical exercises, including negotiation problems, team driven training, use of negotiation equipment and managing a crisis event.

  Presented by:  IPTM - Institute of Police Technology and Management

  
  

  Location: IPTM / University of North Florida, Adam W. Herbert University Center, 12000 Alumni Drive, Jacksonville, FL  32224

  
  

  COURSE DESCRIPTION:

  
  

  The third in a series of three progressive courses, IPTM’s Hostage Crisis Negotiations–Level III course has been developed to further enhance your negotiation skills while affording the team leader an opportunity to develop or hone the skills necessary to lead a team during complex negotiations.

  
  

  We will explore the roles of the team leader, including development and management of the team, team operation, and interaction with command and tactical personnel. Methods for creating and implementing a rigorous training day for the agency negotiation team will be examined–from developing ideas and scenarios to the training announcement.

  
  

  You will gain an in-depth understanding of how rapport and empathy impact the negotiator and the negotiation process. We will also discuss how the growing impact of today’s technology and communication tools–such as social media–can affect negotiations. A presentation by a special operations wounded warrior will help us examine the effects of PTSD and methods of responding to it.
