Verbal Judo is the top rated law enforcement communication course in the country with over 700,000 officers as graduates, from over 700 departments, including the Los Angeles Police Department and the New York City Police Department.
Verbal Judo teaches a philosophy of how to look creatively at conflict and use specific strategies and tactics to find peaceful resolutions. Dealing with the public is often difficult and trying emotionally. Maintaining a “professional face” is crucial if officers are to remain under emotional control to effectively find solutions to potentially violent encounters without escalating to physical force options. These communication tactics also provide a legally defensible bridge to physical force options when physical force becomes necessary.
