  5. Basic Safety Rules Continued • Watch The Hands • If you are going to get hurt, it will come from the hands.

  6. Tactical Communications • Good communication skills are key to a successful outcome. • Communicator MUSTbe open and unbiased

  7. Tactical Communications • 99% of violent encounters begin with a verbal altercation. • “The cocked tongue is the most dangerous weapon.”-George Thompson “The Gentle Act of Persuasion”

  8. Tactical Communications • Communicating to the receiver • Message content = 7-10% • Voice = 33-40% • ONV (other non-verbal) = 50-60%

  9. Active Listener • Listening does NOT come naturally. • Learn to project a “listening face,”act as if you care. • For many people, listening is nothing more than waiting for a chance to interrupt.

  10. Active Listener • Paraphrasing (rephrase and simplify): to restate something using other words, especially in order to make it simpler or shorter.

  11. Active Listener • Paraphrasing allows you to: • interrupt gracefully • control the situation • clarify the meaning • ask, “Did I get it right?” • create empathy

  12. Verbal Deflection • Ultimate Emphatic Statement: “Let me be sure I heard what you just said.”

  13. Verbal Deflection Techniques • The words “BUT” or “HOWEVER” are transitions words. • I hear what you are saying and I understand. • “However/ But”, I’m not the person that can resolve this issue. I will be glad to get someone who can assist you.

  14. Verbal Deflection Techniques • The more the subject raises his/her voice, the more you should talk low and slow. This will usually help bring them back down. • Always act as if you are being recorded, you probably are.

  15. Phrases You NEVER Use • Come here. • You wouldn’t understand. • What do you want me to do about it? • What’s your problem? • Or I don’t see the problem.

  16. Review • ASK (Ethical Appeal) • You are making an honest, sincere request for them to comply. Watch your tone, words used and your demeanor. • Set Context(Reasonable Appeal) • Explain “why” you are asking (e.g. state law, policy, rule).

  17. Review • Present Options: (Personal Appeal) • People act out of selfish interest; show empathy. • Give desired options first. • Explain if they don’t leave, you will have to call a supervisor and you don’t want to go that route. You’d like to work it out between the two of you.

  18. Review • Confirm (Practical Appeal) • Is there anything I can say to get you to cooperate? • ACT (Your options have ran out.) • If you are calling 911 be prepared to physically defend yourself.

  19. The Confrontation Turns Physical • Use whatever you have to protect yourself. • Wasp spray, pencils, stapler, tape dispenser.

  20. The Confrontation Turns Physical • If subject is close enough, there are three quick ways to neutralize the threat. • Gouge eyes • Strike throat • Strike groin

  21. The Confrontation Turns Physical • If you have to use physical force, be committed to your actions. • You can not just be “involved” you need to be “committed” to it.

  22. What is the difference between being involved and being committed?

  23. Things to Consider • Train/Practice more than once a year. • Under stress, you will react the way you are trained. • Your body can’t go where your mind has never been.

  24. What questions do you have?

  25. Thank you for your commitment and professionalism In making our school’s run smoothly.
