Blue View by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)The Truth About De-Escalation: A Desired Outcome, Not A Technique with John BostainThis year, the topics of de-escalation training, preventative measures, and institutional reconstruction are highly relevant in the world of law enforcement.

There are times when the application of reasonable force is the only way to “de-escalate” a situation.
