Hostage Negotiations

The Hostage Negotiations Unit responds to crisis situations requiring tactful communication between the police and the suspect. Whether they are called into a difficult domestic situation or an armed stand-off, their goal is to reduce tension and resolve crisis without violence. Trained in conjunction with SWAT, members of this unit take additional courses offered by the FBI and other agencies in basic and advanced hostage negotiations, crisis intervention and aggressive behavior management. Members are knowledgeable in the traditions of various cultures and are fluent in several languages.
