One overarching rule in law enforcement is... you can never get enough training. Cutbacks and defunding referendums have hit SWAT teams - including hostage crisis negotiators particularly hard. The techniques featured on this website were extracted from an interview with Dr. Greg Cynaumon regarding his expertise in hostage negotiations. His background is unique in that, while he was a police officer, he returned to university and studied psychology earning both a Masters and Doctorate degree in psychology and philosophy. These strategies and techniques were are intended solely for consideration purposes and not to replace individual law enforcement curriculum or training.
