Crisis Negotiator Version 1 (Mobile)

Overview:

The Crisis Negotiator is a hand-held based application for Windows CE devices. The application is designed as a tool to help law enforcement negotiators keep track, measure, and analyze the information developed during a crisis negotiation--such as a hostage situation, a barricade with victim situation, and/or a barricade no victim situation. The Crisis Negotiator is made up of sixteen tables and action guides arranged in five modules: Perpetrator/Victim Data, Demands Objectives Assessment, Action Guides, Lethality Assessment, and Negotiation Analyses. Using the Crisis Negotiator the professional is better able to systematize and understand perpetrator demands, negotiator objectives, measure and analyze the negotiation progress, assess the potential for lethality, and, finally, note and measure warning signs of imminent lethality on the part of the perpetrator. The Crisis Negotiator manual provides the user with not only instruction in the use of the software but also relevant information regarding negotiating a crisis situation. The Crisis Negotiator is based upon the latest scientific information regarding negotiation process, threat assessment, and lethality analyses. Forensic psychologists and law enforcement professionals have developed this application. The structure of the Crisis Negotiator is as follows:Perpetrator/Victim Data --Perpetrator Data--Victim DataDemands Objectives Assessment--Perpetrator Demands--Negotiator Objectives--Progress AssessmentLethality Assessment--Historical Factors--Present Psychological Factors--Spouse Abuse Factors--Imminent Lethality SignsNegotiation Analyses--Progress Analyses--Lethality AnalysesAction GuidesPresently three Action Guides are provided.

The Crisis Negotiator is designed to help the crisis negotiator develop and monitor these two crucial opinions. Visit www.crisisinc.com for more information.
