The person may be emotional, very withdrawn, fatigued, feeling of being overwhelmed, suicidal talk or gestures, crying, despair. e. They may have strong feelings of being helpless, hopeless, and worthless; they may have experienced a recent loss. 2. De-escalation goal. a.

Three phases of a special populations encounter a. Engage b. Assess SPO #2 Slide #23 c. Resolve I. Ear Model engage 1. Purpose of Engage make a connection with the person so you can calm him/her Slide The first 10 seconds of a special populations encounter are critical in setting the tone for de-escalation 3. Remove distractions from the scene (e.g., people who are upsetting the person, loud noises) 4. Introduce yourself and ask for the person s name 5. State the reason why you are there and let them know you are there to help 6. If safety is not compromised, remember that special populations encounters are medical encounters and you should begin considering the Loss model profiles
8 7. Ask questions (e.g., Are you alright? or Is there something bothering you? ) 8. Vocalize about the subject s observable characteristics (e.g., You look angry. or You look stressed. ) 9. Ask the person What help do you need right now? 10. Model calmness that you want the person to mirror 11. In order to make a connection and calm the situation during the Engage phase, you need to be empathetic to the person s situation or state of mind 12. Individuals who feel they are understood are more inclined to calm down 13. Speak softly, simply, briefly, and move slowly 14. If there is more than one officer present, have someone take the lead in communicating and de-escalating the situation to avoid confusion 15. EAR model Assess 16. Purpose of Assess gather the information you need about the situation and the person s condition so that you can make the needed resolution 17. Remember, your threat assessment is continuous 18. If the encounter changes and there is an imminent risk of harm, use the objective reasonableness standard to determine the amount of force necessary to gain control of the situation 19. Recognize that the person may be overwhelmed by frightening beliefs, sounds, or other things in the environment 20. Be patient during the encounter 21. Check to see if a crime has been committed 22. If the person perpetrated a crime, your job is to gain control of the situation, which may include trying to de-escalate the person first and then investigate the crime second, provided that no one has been injured 23. Ask about medical history
9 24. Ask about and/or look for signs of drug or alcohol use (e.g., track marks, paraphernalia) 25. When warranted, talk to other people about the person s medical history, current medications, and ongoing medical treatment 26. If you are dealing with a suicidal person, gauge the seriousness of the person s intent using the LAST model 27. Be non-threatening, yet remain vigilant 28. A trained officer can conceal his/her combat ready stance while offering an empathetic tone of voice and appearing non-threatening 29. If there is more than one law enforcement officer present, the other one should provide cover 30. This cover officer should avoid engaging the subject, as speaking to more than one person may be confusing and/or agitating 31. When warranted, talk to other people about the person s medical history, current medications, and ongoing medical treatment 32. If you are dealing with a suicidal person, gauge the seriousness of the person s intent using the LAST model 33. Be non-threatening, yet remain vigilant 34. A trained officer can conceal his/her combat ready stance while offering an empathetic tone of voice and appearing non-threatening 35. If there is more than one law enforcement officer present, the other one should provide cover 36.

Purpose of Resolve bring the encounter to a safe resolution and get the person to obtain the help that the person needs Slide 31 & 32
10 2. The resolution usually depends on whether a crime was committed, if the person meets commitment criteria, and the availability of mental health and diversion resources 3. The decision matrix, using Engage and Assess, was developed to help officers guide their exercise of discretion 4. Once you decide on a course of action, forecast your intentions to the person by telling the person what you are about to do or what will happen next (e.g., I am going to ask you to come with me. or I am going to have to pat you down and check for weapons. ) 5. Limit the number of instructions you give at one time 6. If you have to use force, you can expect many special populations people to have a high threshold for pain and greater than normal strength Slide 33 &34 K. LAST model 1. Lethality of chosen method 2. A Availability of chosen method does the person actually possess the means to harm himself/herself 3. S Specificity of the plan specific details about time, method 4. Timing proximity of help 5. This model generally addresses individuals contemplating suicide who are depressed 6. The large majority of suicide attempters do not try again 7.

Fact the act of asking the question simply gives them permission to talk about their thoughts or feelings 4. Myth people don t talk about committing suicide 5. Fact most people who die by suicide have communicate some intent Slide #39 6. Fact - Someone who talks about suicide gives someone the opportunity to intervene before suicidal behavior occur 7. Myth if someone really wants to die by suicide, there is nothing you can do about it Slide #40 8. Fact most suicidal ideas are associated with treatable disorders 9. Fact if you can help the person survive the immediate crisis, you have gone a long way toward promoting a positive outcome 10.
