An arrest threatens to get out of hand
How do you remain in control?
Trainings and educational programmes for police
Police officers have to regularly deal with offensive behaviour in their everyday profession. Offensive, aggressive, or violent behaviour can be successfully addressed through proper treatment and taking into account the principles of proportionality and subsidiarity. Active listening and understanding are the beginning of a successful approach.
Police officers deal with people seeking ‘attention’ far more than others do. However, even police officers have emotions and there is also a chance that one of these officers gets into a ‘fight’ with someone else after a serious insult has been thrown. Fighting solves nothing! Brute force and violence can solve the problem quickly, but the question is whether or not that is always the right choice.
General training goal
The police officer will begin to realise from the training or educational programme that proper treatment generates cooperation. They will also learn that the use of brute force often has the wrong effect. In situations where brute force is inevitable, the police officer will know how to apply this in moderation and will be conscious of the use and necessity of the choice. Furthermore, the police officer will learn to avoid the potential use of violence, so that negative consequences can be prevented as much as possible.
