July Part I 2018 Newsletter


ACR Crisis Negotiation Section Newsletter
July Part I 2018 | www.CrisisNegotiatorBlog.com 

Hello all, enjoy this month's newsletter and always, make sure to check out the upcoming trainings and events. Sorry for the delay in the past few months. I'll try to get things back on track. I also have been doing a Police Officer Suicide/Crisis recap that I have been sending out consistently every two weeks since the start of the year (in my official law enforcement capacity).
I will send along my recent two to the group (sorry to for the duplicates for those already on both). let me know if you would like to get it. I will include a link to sign up for it. 
Finally, July's newsletter will go out by the end of the month so if you have an event, training, or conference you would like to have listed, email it to me.

All the best,

Jeff
