This twelve hour online course is designed for law enforcement  officers to present materials and information for de-escalation in use  of force situations. It has four modules including: Constitutional Law,  Missouri Statutory Law, Crisis Negotiations and Introduction to  Integrating Communication, Assessment and Tactics (ICAT). Each module  was created to give law enforcement more tools for incidents involving  potential use of force. This twelve hour online portion will establish  the basis for an additional twelve hour in person portion to be launched  in the Spring of 2025.

The twelve hour in-person portion of this  training will include classroom completion of ICAT, updates/review of  constitutional/statutory law and scenario/role play training.

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. ICAT is anchored by a Critical Decision-Making Model that helps officers assess situations, make safe and effective decisions, and document and learn from their actions.
