Crisis Intervention Refresher Course

Course Number 3843

Abstract

This Crisis Intervention Refresher training provides a review of the key concepts, safety techniques, and communication skills initially taught in the crisis intervention section (Chapter 27) of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (TCLEOSE) Basic Peace Officer Curriculum. This course will also allow time for discussion, questions, and concerns of technique utilization that participants have experienced since their initial basic training. Brainstorming with fellow attendees will assist in the discussion of “best practices” and the sharing of personal situational experiences.

This course will include a combination of lecture, scenario role-play and physical modeling. Participants are expected to be actively involved both verbally and physically.

This Instructor Outline is designed to assist the instructor in developing appropriate lesson plans to utilize in facilitation of the required learning objectives for successful student course completion.

It is the responsibility of the coordinator to ensure that copies of this curriculum and their lesson plans are up to date and on file at your individual departments or academies. Current curriculums and updates can be found on the Commission website at tcole..
