Abstract:
Effective conflict management is a crucial skill in law enforcement, as it directly impacts public trust, officer safety, and overall community relations. This study investigates best practices for conflict de-escalation in police training, focusing on three key aspects: the prevalence of de-escalation techniques in training programs, the duration of training sessions dedicated to conflict management, and the specific content covered. By analyzing current training methodologies, this study aims to identify strengths and gaps within existing programs. Furthermore, it explores potential improvements to enhance officers' ability to resolve conflicts peacefully and reduce the use of force. The findings of this research can inform law enforcement agencies and policymakers in developing more comprehensive and effective training programs that emphasize de-escalation strategies as a fundamental component of police work.
