Biases and Judgements

Biases and judgements are directly correlated to personal insecurities and inappropriate and/or appropriate fears based on past experience and/or not enough information/awareness.

When an officer/agent/operative allows these biases or prejudices to interfere with their actions, de-escalation becomes impossible due to inappropriate/ failure to establish positive rapport. Without rapport, willing compliance is not obtainable. Force will often be used in situations where a rapport is damaged/broken.

Rapport can be recovered based on the actions the officer/agent/operative takes to heal/fix the rapport. The rapport is directly correlated to the initial interaction and presence of the officer/agent/operative based on demeanor, tone, voice, body language, and emotional/psychological clarity and stability.
