The Regional Law Enforcement Academy is offering a course to improve officers’ response to incidents involving people in crisis who are behaving erratically. The course emphasizes the individual’s and the officer’s safety while teaching tactical de-escalation to reduce the intensity of an encounter with a suspect. This training enables officers to have additional options for voluntary compliance and to mitigate the need for using force to maintain control of the situation.
Mandated with the passage of the Sandra Bland Act (SB 1849) by the Texas Legislature in 2017, officers with only a basic proficiency certificate are now required to obtain 8-hours of TCOLE approved de-escalation training every 48-months. This class is also required for officers who wish to obtain either an Intermediate or Advanced certificate.
