Tactical Communication
Verbal Judo, or Tactical Communication, enables officers to further preserve law and order – while maintaining
their own and the public's safety by using Appropriate Presence and Words as force options.
Principles of Judo
Verbal Judo is based on the principle of Judo itself: using the energy of others to master situations. It contains a
set of communication principles and tactics that enable the user to generate cooperation and gain voluntary
compliance in others under stressful conditions, such as hostile suspects, upset or frightened victims, or any
action which places the officer and the community at odds with each other.
Philosophy before Strategy
Verbal Judo teaches a philosophy of how to look creatively at conflict, offering specific, powerful, and usable
strategies to resolve tense situations. The presentation is geared primarily but not exclusively, to law
enforcement situations. You will learn to respond to situations, rather than react to personal feelings,
understanding how to deal with difficult people using conflict management tactics to defuse confrontational
encounters.
