National Standards for Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training

The National Standards for Law Enforcement De-Escalation Training were developed in collaboration with the Department of Justice and other partners. This document serves as the foundation for the certification of training curricula under LEDTA.

Resource Library

The National Policing Institute has curated a library of publicly available resources to assist law enforcement and other partners in developing, delivering, and assessing de-escalation and crisis response training.

This library offers evidence-informed guidance and best-practice materials for law enforcement leaders, frontline officers, community members, and policymakers.
