Realistic De-Escalation Instructor Course

Instructor: Force Science Institute

April 2-3, 2025

 8am – 5pm

 Class will meet at: CIPTC, ICC Peoria Campus, 5407 N. University, Poplar P101, Peoria

Enrollment Deadline:  March 27, 2025

Course Size:  Minimum –20 Maximum – 64

COURSE OVERVIEW

Course Description and Lesson Purpose:

Law enforcement agencies have come under intense pressure in recent years to prioritize

their efforts at “de-escalation.” We will discuss the often-challenging expectations of law

enforcement professionals to gain compliance without using physical force and how

oftentimes, this may not be realistic or safe. The legitimate goal of de-escalation tactics is to

resolve problems with minimal harm. This distinction is critical.

The course will present law enforcement concepts and methods to support de-escalation

efforts. Attendees will be provided with knowledge to apply core skills of incident stabilization,

tactics, and decision-making, and verbal and non-verbal skills to establish contact, build

rapport and create influence with difficult subjects.

Learning and Training Objectives:

Participants will learn a wide variety of skills during this course, including:

• Articulate what ‘de-escalation’ actually means, what the objectives of de-escalation

are, and in what situations de-escalation can and cannot be considered

• Discuss the tactical principles of de-escalation, risk assessment, and decision-making
• Quickly evaluate an interaction to determine whether de-escalation efforts are

reasonable to consider, tactically practical, and likely to be successful

• Apply critical Force Science concepts such as the “Response-ability Zone” and the “7

T’s De-Escalation Evaluation Model” to evaluate tactics that are needed or likely to

be successful in supporting a de-escalation process

• Enhance their ability to make a connection, establish rapport and apply effective

principles of persuasion with difficult subjects, including mentally ill subjects, through

the application of the ‘Behavioral Influence Stairway Model.’

• Learn and apply the ‘Thought/Emotion/Behavior’ (TEB) Matrix to quickly recognize

whether a subject is in ‘conflict’, ‘crisis’ or has ‘contaminated’ thinking and which

strategies of persuasion are likely to be the most effective

• Employ specialized questions specifically designed to cognitively engage individuals

in crisis and increase the likelihood of resolution that either avoids force or minimizes

the amount necessary to obtain control

• Better ensure that officers’ approach and control strategies maximize their response options while minimizing the potential for unnecessary emotional and/or physical

escalation

• Balance the desirability of trying to resolve a conflict peacefully with the need to

maintain officer and public safety

• Apply principles of officer self-regulation and emotional control in order to maintain

rational thinking processes

• Recognize and list common barriers to effective communication that officers

commonly use unintentionally

• Discuss how professional de-escalation techniques embrace the concepts of ‘fair and

impartial’ and ‘rightful policing’ principles

• Integrate the content from this program to increase the breadth and effectiveness of

in-house de-escalation training programs

• Assist investigators and others reviewing uses of force to recognize the pivotal

situational and behavioral factors that must be considered when assessing whether

de-escalation efforts might have been feasible and potentially effective

• Help community members and the media better understand what realistic de-escalation

entails and the challenges that subjects may present that can inhibit, if not

prohibit, an officer’s ability to safely de-escalate.

• Be able to teach the concepts of the Azar-Dickens Police Assessment Matrix to

officers so they can determine if de-escalation strategies are appropriate and what

type of verbal and non-verbal tactics are most likely to succeed

• Be able to understand and teach the Butler 9-Tactical Questions Model approach to

assessing a situation to determine the most likely outcomes and enhance the

chances for successful resolution

Juvenile Specialist Skills/Juvenile Officer Course

Instructor: Brian Galske, Danielle Butts, and Catherine Hundley

April 14-17, 2025

8am – 5pm

 Class will meet at: CIPTC, ICC Peoria Campus, 5407 N. University, Maple Hall P103, Peoria

Enrollment Deadline:  April 7, 2025

Course Size:  Minimum 15 – Maximum – 30

Bring a charged laptop all handouts will be provided on thumb drive

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

 Instructor: Nick Sterling

 Illinois Department of Natural Resources

April 16, 2025

 8am – 4pm

 Class will meet at Peru PD, 2650 N. Peoria Street, Peru, IL

Enrollment Deadline: April 9, 2025

Course Size:  Minimum – 15   Maximum – 30

Course Objective

This is a one-day 8-hour class being provided by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, OMM-Explosives and Agg. Division. The class will provide hands on education with recognizing the different types of high/low explosives and their requirements at both the State of Illinois level, as well as the BATFE (Federal) level. In addition to general explosive recognition, the specifics and differences of consumer fireworks (1.4) vs. professional grade fireworks (1.3G) and the laws that pertain to them will be discussed in great detail. Each individual who attends the class and passes the exam will receive an IL IDNR Individual Explosives License, to be used in association with their law enforcement duties.

 This class is being provided by the IDNR to help educate law enforcement and to provide direct assistance, on scene, when dealing with explosive situations. The IDNR regulates/ investigates high and low explosives including 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.5. Too many times law enforcement does not have the education to know how to identify an explosive and/or if a bomb squad needs to be called. Bomb Squads, Explosives Breaching SWAT Teams, and BOMB Dog Handlers already possess the IL Individual Explosives License. The IDNR must be notified immediately upon any recovery of a regulated explosive and/or device to pursue the information necessary for enforcement.

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

HIGH IN PLAIN SIGHT:

Current Alcohol, Drug, and Concealment Trends and Identifiers

Instructor: Jermaine Galloway

April 17, 2025 

8:30am – 10:30am 

Class will meet at: Tazewell County SO, 101 South Capitol, Pekin, IL

Enrollment Deadline:  April 16, 2025

Course Objective

This workshop is for educators, prevention providers, coalition members, law enforcement, probation officers, school administration, treatment providers, nurses, health care workers, and counselors. This workshop can cover alcohol and drug clothing, alcoholic energy drinks, prescription drug abuse and misuse, alcohol and drug concealment methods and containers, drug paraphernalia, drug related music and groups, logos, stickers, new technology, youth party tendencies, party games, non-traditional alcoholic beverages, social networking sites, synthetic drugs, OTC drugs, inhalants, marijuana concentrates, E-cigarettes, and popular party drugs, including opioids, Adderall, and ecstasy. This session can also cover common stash compartments that can be used to hide weapons inside everyday clothing containers and other items, in addition to the impact on traffic safety. In addition, the Tall Cop reviews the emerging trends of Xylazine, legal “gas station heroin” products, and Opioids.

This session is unique, in that it provides over 70 visual aids through photos and videos. In today’s culture, everything is person-specific and has different meanings to different individuals. Meanwhile, certain items have gained popularity in the alcohol and drug scene – which changes every day.

Officer Galloway tailors this session to each community that he teaches in, and constantly updates this training to keep up with the current trends. This allows the community to know what is happening locally in their retail stores. Galloway also covers the impact of legalization, if this affects your state.

For each person to help prevent youth and adult substance abuse, you MUST know what is going on in your community.

The course will be conducted by a diverse group of law enforcement and behavioral health professionals.

An essential part of the CIT course is scenario-based skills training.  Officers are challenged with realistic scenarios portrayed by professional actors from Chicago and St. Louis.  Scenarios may include a suicide intervention, de-escalating a violent situation, or responding to a call involving an individual experiencing paranoia.  All scenarios are facilitated and evaluated by certified CIT officers.

     Fundamentals of Realistic De-Escalation

Instructor: Forced Science

May 28, 2025

 8am – 5pm

 Class will meet at: CIPTC, ICC Peoria Campus, 5407 N. University, Poplar P101, Peoria

Enrollment Deadline:  May 21, 2025

Course Size:  Minimum – 20 Maximum – 64

Course Description and Lesson Purpose:

Law enforcement agencies have come under intense pressure in recent years to prioritize their efforts at “de-escalation.” We will discuss the often-challenging expectations of law enforcement professionals to gain compliance without using physical force and how oftentimes, this may not be realistic or safe. The legitimate goal of de-escalation tactics is to resolve problems with minimal harm. This distinction is critical.

The course will present law enforcement concepts and methods to support de-escalation efforts. Attendees will be provided with knowledge to apply core skills of incident stabilization, tactics and decision-making and verbal and non-verbal skills to establish contact, build rapport and create influence with difficult subjects.

Learning and Training Objectives:

Students will learn a wide variety of skills during this course including:

At the end of this training, the participant will be able to:

• Articulate what ‘de-escalation’ actually means, what the objectives of de-escalation are, and in what situations de-escalation can and cannot be considered
• Discuss the tactical principles of de-escalation, risk assessment and decision-making
• Quickly evaluate an interaction to determine whether de-escalation efforts are reasonable to consider, tactically practical, and likely to be successful
• Apply critical Force Science® concepts such as the “Response-ability Zone” and the “7 T’s De- escalation Evaluation Model” to evaluate tactics that are needed or likely to be successful in supporting a de-escalation process
• Enhance their ability to make a connection, establish rapport and apply effective principles of persuasion with difficult subjects, including mentally ill subjects, through the application of the ‘Behavioral Influence Stairway Model’
• Learn and apply the ‘Thought/Emotion/Behavior’ (TEB) Matrix to quickly recognize whether a subject is in ‘conflict’, ‘crisis’ or has ‘contaminated’ thinking and therefore which strategies of persuasion are likely to be the most effective
• Employ specialized questions specifically designed to cognitively engage individuals in crisis and increase the likelihood of resolution that either avoids force or minimizes the amount necessary to obtain control
• Better ensure that officers’ approach and control strategies maximize their response options while minimizing the potential for unnecessary emotional and/or physical escalation
• Balance the desirability of trying to resolve a conflict peacefully with the need to maintain officer and public safety
• Apply principles of officer self-regulation and emotional control in order to maintain rational

thinking processes

• Help community members and the media better understand what realistic de-escalation entails and the challenges that subjects may present that can inhibit, if not prohibit, an officer’s ability to safely de-escalate.
