This seminar is jointly sponsored by the Calgary Police Service and the Southern Alberta District of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in an effort to expand the knowledge and expertise of negotiators, incident commanders and tactical officers by sharing new ideas, methods and experiences in an open forum of police officers, corrections officers and selected mental health professionals actively working with negotiators.

The format consists of case study presentations by the negotiators, commanders and tactical members actually involved in the incident. An open dialogue between the presenters and attendees is intended to promote learning through the experience of others. What worked, what didn’t and why.

CONFIDENTIALITY of all information presented at the seminar is stressed in order to allow for candid discussions. THIS IS A LEARNING FORUM! Valid police identification is required for accreditation to the seminar and door security is in effect at all times. Video or audio recording is NOT permitted at any time.

Feedback has resulted in a continued emphasis on Command - Negotiation interaction with the presentations being of value to Incident Commanders, Negotiation Teams and Tactical Team members.
