Greetings from Chief Rick Hanson
On behalf of the Calgary Police Service, welcome to the 2010 Calgary Negotiation Seminar. The Service is very pleased to be co-sponsoring this event with the Southern Alberta District RCMP.
This is the 16th annual learning forum; a place to update your skills, share best practices with other negotiators, and to learn about new technology.
Whether responding to a hostage taking, a barricaded person, or a subject threatening suicide, never before have the skills of a negotiator been so important.
Behind each successful resolution is a team of highly-skilled individuals whose training is second to none. It’s our hope that this seminar will provide you with some of the skills you need to go into each situation with the best possible information and expertise.
My sincerest thanks to all of the presenters who are sharing their experiences and expertise with us.
Welcome.
Rick Hanson
CHIEF OF POLICE
