In addition to the classroom presentation, students will be placed in multiple role-playing scenarios that are based on commonly encountered critical incidents which involve “Persons in Crisis”.
ICAT is a new way of thinking about use-of-force training for American police officers.
ICAT takes the essential building blocks of critical thinking, crisis intervention, communications, and tactics, and puts them together in an integrated approach to training.
