Dr. Robin Engel takes a deep dive into police de-escalation, an approach that includes techniques to reduce the tension that can be part of any police-citizen interaction. The tactics are designed to minimize the use of force by resolving incidents peacefully.
Main Topics
- Until recently, de-escalation research was non-existent and seen as potentially threating to the officers.
- Dr. Engel discusses how training contributed to substantial reductions in the use-of-force, as well as reductions in officer injuries.
- Still, de-escalation training must be combined with supervisor support and frequent reminders of it’s utility.
Dr. Engel can be contacted at the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University. Her research can be found on Google Scholar.
