Rep. Steven Roberts of St. Louis, Missouri, knows that
police officers are an important part of a strong, healthy community, and he
shares that there a variety of ways to de-escalate a tense situation that will
help police officers do their jobs safely.:
· De-escalation comes down to words, and it’s very
important that as a police officer, you make genuine contact with the person
you are talking with. Knowing the right thing to say in the right moment to
make that initial contact is vital.
· Rather than becoming upset by the cause, focus on what a positive outcome looks like for the particular situation in front of you. While it’s valuable information to know the source of the problem, it’s more important that you deal with the situation at hand quickly and effectively to ensure that no one gets hurt.
Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. was born in St. Louis, Missouri.
