The city of rohnert park will US FY24 safer outcomes funding to bring additional DE-escalation training to the rohnert park department of public safety: the california association of tactical officers (CATO) course on critical incident leadership with additional training content on responding to acts of violence on school campuses. The three-day training focuses on tools and techniques for law enforcement personnel to make effective decisions during critical incidents. Utilizing debriefs, tabletops, and instruction, we train to identify important characteristics in a developing incident, recognize factors that influence the event, establish priorities, and take action to DE-escalate and influence the outcome to bring the safest solution. These challenges will also be addressed in the context of responding to schools, universities, and large public venues in the community, with training involving outside community stakeholders to ensure everyone has a better understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a incident.
