I attended De-escalation Instructor Course taught by Jason Taylor. Jason’s depth of knowledge, combined with his energetic and practical teaching style, made the course both engaging and impactful. What stood out most was his ability to connect real-world experiences with instructional strategies that are both effective and applicable in high-stress situations. Jason emphasized the importance of communication, empathy, and officer safety in a way that was balanced and respectful to both law enforcement and the communities we serve.

The course was well-structured, combining theoretical knowledge with practical applications.

De-Escalation class was thought by Jason Taylor in Arlington, Texas. He did an excellent job keeping the class attention, as well as including the students to participate.

TK –
Jason was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, making the class engaging and enjoyable!!!
Tyler F. –
The information presented in this class is not only relevant and practical, but also crucial to our approach in today’s law enforcement. I appreciated the concepts and realization that de-escalation is valuable and necessary, understating that if an officer approaches situations with these tactics, I can potentially resolve situations. Additionally, recognizing that not all situations can be de-escalated because it relies on the willingness of the suspect to de-escalate and ultimately is their decision. Jason did an amazing job delivering the material.
S. Seabolt –
J.Taylor did a phenomenal job of explaining the aspects of how to explain the concepts of de-escalation. I have a better understanding of control concepts.

This was an excellent course that I recommend every officer attend sooner in their career rather than later. De-escalation, whether physically or verbally, is used in law enforcement every day.

Eric Pfrehm –
Had a great time. Instructor was energetic. Great new outlook on dealing with people.

Great class, should be part of basic academy with refresher every year. We use firearms rarely but put great emphasis on F/A training as we should. We talk to people daily and words matter. Jason brings current situations to training and is a great instructor.
Sgt. Michael Roberts –
De-escalation is one of the most misunderstood areas in law enforcement today (on both sides of the issue). This course truly clarifies what it means to the regular street cop. Miscommunication and misunderstanding issues are at the heart of so many unnecessary conflicts. This course is a great step in the right direction to mend the gap between Law Enforcement and the Communities that we serve and protect.
Kevin Stoll –
Excellent course. Worth the money. Master Instructor Jason Taylor is an expert on the topic with tons of knowledge and experience.
Shawn Wilson –
Fantastic course, and extremely relevant. Jason was an amazing instructor.

Brian –
Absolutely great. Very knowledgeable and helps get outside the box
Lance S (verified owner) –
Communication. It’s something that officers do every day, but how often do we think about the actual words that are used? This class is a great tool to help realize the importance of effective communication as well as recognizing the difference between words and phrases that can either help to resolve a situation or agitate a situation. Jason is a great instructor that brings his years of experience to the classroom.

Sheila R Vitacco –
Great instructor. Excellent information. Highly recommend!!
M. A. S. –
Fantastic course. Currently attending day three and although I previously thought I had an above-average grasp on “verbal judo” & “de-escalation”, the content far exceeded not only my expectations, it effectively tripled my knowledge.
Jason is a fantastic instructor. He’s motivated, engaging, and passionate about teaching. If I can pass on the skills I learned even HALF as effectively as Jason did, the course will have paid for itself. Given the litigious society we live in now-a-days, courses like this are worth their weight in gold. I highly recommend it to any peace officer. If you’re an administrator, I recommend this course for your force instructors.
