Yanez had limited training in defusing situations, records show www.startribune.com/yanez-had-limited-training-in-defusing-situations-records-show/430256953/"In his five years with the St. Anthony Police Department, officer Jeronimo Yanez spent well over three months in training. Included in that time were 46 hours devoted to using force, another 36 hours on street survival and 20 hours on shooting his gun. But he received just two hours of de-escalation training two months before his fatal encounter with Philando Castile on July 6, 2016." That is an appallingly low amount of time devoted to de-escalation, when I would imagine that with domestic disputes and such it's a huge part of the job. Also, if you're successful at the de-escalation process, there is no need for using force or your gun. In my school, we use Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) as our model for de-escalation and intervention with students with behaviors. The initial training is five full days, with a yearly review of 8 hours. And we have no weapons involved. My wife also works at a school that serves students with serious social-emotional challenges. She and the rest of the staff receive regular training on de-escalation and the appropriate way to restrain a student in crisis in order to not harm the student. They also receive training on what to do if the student has acquired an object that could serve as a weapon. None of the people working in the school are armed and none of them have been killed or been critically injured by a student in crisis. Part of this stems from their philosophy that they have a duty to keep the students safe. You know, kind of like "Serve and Protect," but I think that's another institution's motto...
