TO OBTAIN ACTIONABLE INFORMATION AND MAKE A MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION TO THIS DEVELOPING BODY OF KNOWLEDGE, LCSO WILL WORK WITH RESEARCH PARTNERS AT THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY AND THE FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION TO ANALYZE COLLECTED DATA AND COMPOSE SCHOLARLY RESEARCH PUBLICATIONS RELATED TO DE-ESCALATION. LCSO TRAINING COORDINATORS WILL USE THIS RESEARCH IN COMBINATION WITH PRE-EXISTING DE-ESCALATION, DUTY TO INTERVENE, AND IMPLICIT BIAS TRAINING PROGRAMS TO IDENTIFY BEST PRACTICES AND COMPOSE A COMPREHENSIVE DE-ESCALATION TRAINING PROGRAM.
