This is a great testing ground for what works in difficult communication situations. There are lives on the line so there's no time for ego, only what will save those lives. What works? Making people feel heard and understood and hopeful. There's a powerful lesson in that.

i wonder if a department like this, with the right funding, could expand to cover mental health cases as well? having at least one person trained in this kind of deescalation available in each police station ready on call would be incredible, i think.

There is something more than just negotiation. It's about showing sympathy and empathy to everyone around you. I am learning so much from this video like active listening skills, the verbal skills and the real-life field scenarios!

[@johnlucas6683]

Try reading the book Never Split the Difference. The author is a former FBI negotiator, Chriss Voss.

[@DevilPattDP]

I have rarely experienced a KZbin video making me cry. I come from Germany and, unfortunately, I was once a hostage myself. I'm alive and so are everyone else. But the way you talked, the way you empathized, the way you understood him... that was just unbelievable.

[@elipatrick1352]

When I was very young, my cousin, Katie, was taken hostage in her home by her ex-boyfriend. He stalked her for days before barricading himself and her in her bedroom. The hostage negotiators talked with him for hours. Unfortunately, he ended up killing her and then himself. She was 17, about to graduate high school. Investigation Discovery did an episode on it back in 2017. I have a lot of respect for the people who put themselves in these life or death scenarios and take on these burdens to try and save people like my cousin - even if the challenge doesn't always end the way we want it to.

Michelle, I don't comment on video's regularly. But I felt compelled to say something.. You have changed so much for me. Seeing you take on hard challenges and giving it your all. Seeing you feeling uncomfortable, uneasy, nervous, anxious, angry, confused, confident, excited, and so much more is amazing. It has helped me realize that there is no shame in being new, 'all-in' and embarrassing. Being unapologetically 'all-in' is beautiful, appriciated and motivating. I have grown -since realizing this and working on myself- as a professional and as a person. Thank you for being loud and expressive. Thank you for being curious. And thank you for being you.

I love this episode. Descaltion through conversations is something I try to do during online or in person conflict.

I have talked to people who have said, "we have tried conversations. It hasn't worked."

[@joeNotexotic579]

Definitely an expert: The lesson started immediately: "I feel like I'm going to learn a few magic words to make anybody do whatever I want. Is that the case?" Note that he didn't say "no" or even necessarily agree, he said: "We'll see what we can do; We'll give it our best shot." One of the goals of negotiators is to never show oneself to be a liar.
