Crisis Negotiation Team

The goal of the Neenah Police Department Crisis Negotiation Team is to de-escalate volatile situations and peacefully resolve situations by helping to change the behavior of the person in crisis. It is considered to be one of law enforcement’s most effective tools and is vital when dealing with high risk situations.

The Crisis Negotiation Team has eight members. Members receive 40 hours of training annually. This training is based off of the FBI Crisis Negotiation Model and includes scenario based training, case study and repetition of techniques that are used nationwide. This ensures that the team is ready at all times and operates at a high level.
