What is the main focus of PPCT training?

The primary aim of PPCT training is to promote non-violent resolutions where possible. This approach emphasizes the importance of de-escalation techniques and communication skills in managing potentially dangerous situations. The goal is to reduce the need for physical intervention and to allow for conflict resolution through verbal engagement and other non-confrontational methods. By fostering a mindset that prioritizes non-violence, PPCT training helps officers and personnel to utilize tactical communication effectively, ensuring safety for both themselves and the individuals they encounter. This focus aligns with broader law enforcement objectives of maintaining public safety while minimizing the use of force.
