• This course provided me with a better understanding of the de-escalation process and the science behind it. I feel that this course explained de-escalation strategies. It’s better than any other course I have attended. Lt. Dillon provides an easy to understand way to explain multiple ways to use de-escalation any course taught by Lt.
