<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Hostage negotiation is one of the most remarkable areas of law enforcement. </strong>Through a combination of tactical communication, empathic connection and, at times, subterfuge, negotiators persuade desperate, suicidal or homicidal individuals, often intoxicated or mentally ill, to relinquish their position of power and submit to police authority. In this book, the reader will find thirty different training scenarios that cover the gamut of mental illness and personality disorders, as well as common situations that lead otherwise ordinary people into desperation. Most of them are based on cases that one or the other of the authors have actually encountered. There are full instructions on how to set up the scenario, and how to brief the role player so that he or she plays it true-to-life. The scenarios are colorful, unpredictable, and multi-layered, and require active involvement of the secondary negotiator and the rest of the team for intelligence gathering. Just as a real situation can change radically when new information is acquired, most of the scenarios will have unexpected twists that require the negotiators to think on their feet, and sometimes diametrically change directions. Many include SWAT, and some are specifically crafted so that tactical officers can practice various skills during the scenarios, such as food deliveries, release of an injured hostage, delivery of the throw phone, or documents the subject has demanded. They can plant listening devices, or attempt to get a visual on the scene. Team leaders can program the negotiation exercise for 'failure, ' something that neither SWAT nor the negotiators will be informed. When it is suddenly time to go, they must be ready to tactically respond. Although it is an educational read for anyone involved in crisis intervention - far beyond police work - it is written as a resource book for HNT/CNT teams.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I am the team leader for a regional Crisis Negotiation Team. Developing effective training scenarios is a key part of CNT/HNT training. One of our team members purchased Shapeshifting and gave it to me to read. This book is now my go to for training scenarios; some of the scenarios can also be changed for joint SWAT/CNT training exercises. Every CNT/HNT should have Shapeshifting in their training library."</p><p>"Excellent book! Perfect for setting scenario based training for SWAT, as well as law enforcement agencies that don't have the luxury of a negotiations team. This book is a god aid in helping those in patrol dealing with mentally ill calls."</p><br>
