This book reduces the negotiation procedures for hostage, barricaded, and suicide incidents to their basic elements, providing quick and easy access to the information you need -- from the initial call-out to the final debriefing. Based on field-tested principles proven to work, the book also includes newly developed and highly specialized techniques for more experienced negotiators. Author James L. Greenstone provides a user-friendly, step-by-step guide to the intervention and negotiation process that will help you get the job done -- right. Topics covered include legal considerations; telephone surveillance guidelines; the Stockholm Syndrome; working with S.W.A.T. and Tactical Emergency Medical Support; dealing with the media; recognizing "red flags;" the issues of suicide; debriefing the hostage team; the 150 laws of hostage and crisis negotiation; and the 10 most serious errors a negotiator can make.
