A new nationwide initiative is advancing police training through an Advanced Crisis Communication and Tactics pilot program. This effort, backed by federal support, seeks to equip officers with a comprehensive curriculum focused on de-escalation skills and enhanced critical decision-making.

The training emphasizes recognizing behavioral health conditions and intellectual disabilities, alongside promoting officer wellness. The goal is to establish a national standard for handling crisis situations, marking a significant step in evolving how law enforcement interacts with vulnerable populations and ensuring safer community outcomes.
