PREPARATION BEFORE VOCALIZATION
Details of what has happened
All about:- The stronghold The hostages The hostage takers
WHAT THE NEGOTIATOR NEEDS TO KNOW
Hostage/Crisis Negotiation Procedures
![Page 44: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
WHAT HAS HAPPENED?
WHO? WHEN? WHERE? WHY? WHAT FOR? HOW? HOW LONG?
![Page 45: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
THE STRONGHOLDAny place or vehicle from which police are excluded or from which demands are made
Where? Static or mobile What can we see? What can they see? Are we safe - what are
the conditions? Are they safe - what
are their conditions?
![Page 46: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
THE HOSTAGES
How many? Who are they? What, if any, relationship with the hostage
takers? Age, sex? Physical and mental health? Where in the stronghold?
THEIR LIVES IN YOUR HANDS
![Page 47: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
THE HOSTAGE TAKERS
How many? Who? Why - deliberate or accidental How? How armed? Where in the stronghold? External support?
(Sometimes there are no hostages)
![Page 48: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
COMMUNICATING WITH THE STRONGHOLD
Face to face through the door Loud hailer Telephone Cellular telephone Field telephone Radio Internet
![Page 49: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
FACE TO FACE
Good visual feedback but dangerous - it works both ways
Good intelligence opportunity but difficult to say no
Opportunity to build some bonds - BUT Difficult to defer
IT IS VERY DANGEROUS - AVOID IT!
![Page 50: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

FACE-TO-FACE NEGOTIATIONS
Avoid talking at gun point
Beware of a confrontation with more than one of them
Concentrate on their actions and emotions Know your escape route - WITH the firearms officer
No. 2 is the safety manager for No. 1
![Page 52: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
FACE-TO-FACE NEGOTIATIONS
Never carry anything that could be of use to the enemy
Never turn your back on them
Be aware of making written notes, rely on taped records
Be aware of expanded body space - mentally disturbed
Interpreters also need body armour and the escape route
![Page 53: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
LOUD HAILER
SAFER THAN ‘FACE TO FACE’
BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT IS ONE WAY
AND HARD TO HEAR
Remember - Aircraft carry loud hailers
![Page 54: Lecture on Hostage Negotiation](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042422/545d8e17b1af9f37348b4573/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

INTERNET
New - Has been used in extortion cases
Where next? - Kidnap and Siege
Safe and an element of time to reply
Potential world wide audience - Need for IT expert advice
Negotiating Principles the same - modification to team roles
