Police In-service Training

The Fundamentals of Realistic De-Escalation

The Fundamentals of Realistic De-Escalation is a 4-hour course incorporating concepts from Force Science Institute’s “Realistic” De-escalation course, the WI Defense and Arrest Tactics System and Professional Communication Skills.

This course is designed to give officers the necessary skills to accurately assess individual actions during potentially violent confrontations and, when feasible, defuse them with easy-to-grasp tactics that can be used to resolve problems with a minimal amount of force.

Vehicle Pursuit Training

The 2019- 2021 biennium's training will address a number of issues affecting public and officer safety and will include:

• Reviewing what constitutes a pursuit.
• Reviewing the steps for initiating, continuing, and terminating a pursuit.
• Communication during a pursuit.
• Practical exercises on initiating, continuing, and terminating vehicle pursuits and the communication that should take place during each phase of a pursuit.

If local policy prohibits pursuits or limits pursuit methods, officers will learn how they can act in a supporting role for a pursuing agency.

Mandatory Equipment:

Gun belt with handcuff key.  Remove all weapons and ammunition prior to class.  Dress for weather conditions.
