Crisis Management and Negotiation

While the incident started as “typical”, it quickly escalated and became hostile. The man was someone who exhibited expressive behaviors that included a high level of emotion (Van Hasselt, Flood, Romano, Vecchi, de Fabrique, & Dalfonzo, 2005). With time, the CHNT was able to calm the suspect down and help him see reason. It is through this specific example that a person is able to understand why a CHNT is viewed as a valid and valuable tool to diffuse intense hostage and non-hostage situations (Leviton & Greenstone,

Crisis communication is the most important aspect of external and internal organization communication. This type of communication ranges from image restoration campaigns to employee turnover. In the articles that I have analyzed, I discovered many examples of crisis communications and its importance. I will discuss the Bridgestone-Firestone Corporation's image restoration campaign and explain Benoit's theory of image restoration. Also, I will discuss how crisis communications fits into public relations models. Two examples for discussion will be how supervisors should convey bad-news to their employees, and group communication within employee turnover. My last example for this discussion will be Bill Clinton's image repair discourse.

Getting a staff together to bring in useful information to plan for the release of the information to the news media is a great way to enhance communication to the public. The media will then get the information out to the public by ways of News releases, web sites, news conferences, newspapers and other social media (Hicks, 2012). The advantages of using these types of media are they quickly allows for the public to know what type of crisis has happened, and what kinds of precautions are being taken to ensure their safety. If there were to be any fatalities caused by the crisis event(s), these types of avenues also will give information on that. Some disadvantages can be unreliable technology of the citizens that will not allow for them to get access to the information that is being released by the media, such as no television, computer is not working properly, or they don’t received the local newspaper to be able to read it, etc.

Or any other kind of weapon or blunt object that the attacker may have on their person. Which is exactly why I would not make a good hostage negotiator on the force until I’ve had experience on negotiations otherwise none of the victims would be able to be saved that are hostage. Whether it be kids, or even adults, sometimes an officer or deputy has to shoot to kill the suspect hostage instigator as well to protect the innocent victim. And free them from the harm of the suspect perpetrator that is being a threat. Once the threat is done been taken as a threat, then the incident of the hostage taker or the suspected perpetrator is taken into custody if still alive, if not alive then taken to the medical examiner to tell if it was a murder or homicide or police department involved shooting where the hostage taker had to be shot and killed or have the hostage killed or injured by the weapon that they may have if it’s a knife blade holding it a crossed the throat of the hostage, or a gun to their head whether the victim is a minor/ child or the situation should be separated and if there are going to be ammo fired at anyone it should be fired at the hostage taker, not the victim, to get the innocent victim away from harm, and to

This summer I had the opportunity to enroll in a practicum with the Calgary Police Service. One call in particular involved a domestic dispute over child custody, and the officer and I were the first to arrive on the scene. We approached the residence and herd shouting from the front door. At this point it is apparent the conflict between the parties has been ongoing for some time. The officer and I called for an additional patrol vehicle, and once they arrived we entered the residence. Upon entering the residence there was a male and two females, the one female and male are a couple, who will use the name Bob and Jane, and the other female was the mother of the child who will use the name

Critical Incident Negotiating Team has some major functions; these functions are critical and must be performed by officers who have been specially trained and affirmed.

The type of training that a Critical Incident Negotiating Team go through is a forty hour training course that is taught by the FBI which includes.

Potential advantages and challenges associated with communicating within the organization and with the public and private sectors during this crisis situation.

Consequently, negotiation is a process that can be approached in many ways. No matter what strategy we choose, success lies in how well we prepared. The key to negotiating a beneficial outcome is the negotiators’ ability to consider all the elements of the situation carefully and to identify and think through the options. At the same time, negotiators must be able to keep events in perspective and be as fair and honest as circumstance allows. Because a common ground or interest has brought the parties to the negotiating table, a negotiator can benefit by trying to capitalize on this common

What is a crisis management? It is an unexpected crisis that happens on the company that will affect the trust and loyalty of the stakeholder. It can be extremely costly because it will affect the company reputation and brand. For example like financial failure from poor business management, workplace violence, fires, cybercrime, computer viruses, product tampering or union strikes and other external issue like damaged economy that causes from London bombings, terrorists attacks on 11 September and others.
