How to Predict Violence and Influence Outcomes Length:
Two days (16 hours)
Cost:
$259
Included:
Class materials
Dates:
Oct. 7-8
Course Description:
Too often, officers are reactive to aggression rather than predictive. Preparing for a violent encounter requires that you quickly and accurately identify behaviors that indicate vicious intent. If done effectively, you have the power to influence outcomes. This course delves deeply into the science of kinesics and the study of body language, stances, gestures and microexpressions. Using videos of recent attacks on officers, we will analyze subtle movements, mannerisms and warning signs of impending aggression and discuss how paying attention to these same movements and mannerisms can assist in getting confessions. We will then discuss the critical importance of your own behavior and how it can be affected by emotion and stress. Learn what science tells us about human behavior and how asking the right questions, actively listening and showing empathy can be the keys to controlling, redirecting and influencing others. Once learned, you can control the outcome of a potentially deadly encounter. “Verbal defense” classes teach old-school communication theory. This course was developed using today’s research in the science of human behavior and decades of real street experience. Topics include: • The five truths of human behavior • Situational awareness • Statement analysis • Intent, motivation and hidden meaning • Active listening and asking the right questions • The eight essentials to getting confessions • Language and the use of force • Avoiding stress-induced blindness • The power of thinking without thinking This course focuses on simple yet realistic and effective techniques for improving verbal and nonverbal interaction skills.
