The Association is honored to announce that Detective Sergeant Ron Salzano with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Intelligence / Counter-terrorism unit will be speaking on De-escalation for Decision Makers, Educators, Security and Support Staff. Ron is the commanding officer in charge of the Bergen County Regional SWAT Crisis Negotiations Team and is assigned, on loan, to Bergen County Emergency Management, where he is the Deputy County Emergency Management Coordinator.
Today’s increased service demands and the scrutiny placed upon public sector professionals have resulted in a growing need to master verbal conflict management skills. When negative verbal encounters escalate to the point where physical intervention is used, criticism often results when it is later discovered that there is little evidence of verbal de-escalation techniques employed by the public sector professionals. De-escalation training provides public sector professionals with time-tested communication skills proven to help de-escalate volatile situations, safeguard fellow employees’ emotional and professional well-being, and significantly enhance the agency’s professional image. The hour discussion provides practical ways to becoming more effective professionals in communication.
