On-Scene Guide for Crisis Negotiators

On-Scene Guide for Crisis Negotiators

According to author Frederick J. Lanceley―one of the world's foremost crisis negotiation authorities―negotiators must train and train regularly. For just as the legal field constantly evolves, so does the field of crisis negotiation. The new edition of On-Scene Guide for Crisis Negotiators reflects this fact. A bestseller in its first edition, this book offers practical advice with regard to the theory, procedures, and techniques of crisis and suicide intervention and hostage negotiation. Two new chapters in the second edition cover negotiation with people under the influence of drugs or alcohol and how first responders can contain a situation until a negotiator can arrive. With a suicide intervention flow chart, a checklist for investigators assisting negotiators, and an on-scene guide for crisis negotiators, this indispensable book provides the tools you need to conduct successful negotiations and "make nothing happen." Praise for Frederick Lanceley: "The negotiation went as if Fred had scripted it!" -Walter Yeomans, Police Department, Edgewater, Florida "I did exactly what Fred told me to do and it turned out exactly like he said it would." -Jim Duffy, FBI "I still carry your On Scene Guide to calls." -G.R. Day, Dauphin County Crisis Response Team "In fact, last month we had a call-out where a man had a gun and a 5 gal can of gas threatening to kill himself. I sent your book out to the scene with special instructions for the negotiators to review the suicide flow chart you provided... we got him out without incident. Thanks again." -Captain Don Furu, Pocatello Police Department, Pocatello, Idaho Frederick J. Lanceley Used Book in Good Condition
