Policing Insight - Subscription at source 5/6/2018 Analysis The Self-Perceived Successful Hostage and Crisis Negotiator Profile: A Qualitative Assessment of Negotiator Competencies Hostage and crisis negotiators serve a vital function within modern-day policing and can play a role in whether individuals live or die. As such, it is important for us to understand which police officers are more suited to this complex and challenging role, to ensure that the most effective negotiators are selected and trained. The current paper outlines the findings from interviews conducted with 15 negotiators from nine English police forces. Using a grounded theoretical approach, a conceptual model of the successful negotiator profile was developed comprising three primary and 19 secondary categories. The three primary categories consisted of: ‘Negotiator entry requirements’, ‘Negotiator attributes’, and ‘Negotiator skills’ which taken together, can be used to depict a profile of the successful hostage and crisis negotiator. The profile is discussed with reference to the potential implications for current hostage and crisis negotiator/police officer selection and training practices. Police Practice and Research - Registration at source 5/6/2018 Research article Who’s Policing the Crowd? A Typology of Officers Who Policed the 2011 Stanley Cup Riot Moving away from high-profile, hard-lined tactics, approaches to crowd policing have become increasingly geared towards softer, negotiation-based policing methods. Despite their perceived benefits, there exist a number of challenges relating to the successful implementation of these low-profile approaches, most notably being the officers themselves. Given the central role officers play in responding to and managing crowd situations, it is important to know what types of officers are actually deployed to police these events. Utilizing survey data collected in the aftermath of the 2011 Stanley Cup riot, this study employed a cluster analysis to examine the similarities and differences amongst the officers who were deployed to police this event. This technique produced two distinct clusters, which were subsequently used to examine the relationship between officer characteristics and orientations towards crowd policing. By providing a possible explanation for the success and/or failure of a particular crowd management strategy, these results may help police departments in their preparations for future crowd events.
