wk 4
Responses should be at least 500 words each (not counting sources and references) and each should have at least 2 different sources properly cited in accordance with APA. Again, content and critical thought are key here, but graduate level writing ability and meeting minimum requirements for length and sources are also included in the overall grade. Each of the 4 questions is worth 25 points (exam is worth 25% of your final grade in this course).
This exam covers all the material and readings assigned between Weeks 1 and 4. Each essay needs to be 500 words, with APA 7th ed citations and references
1. You have been asked to select a mental health consultant for the negotiating team. What would you look for when selecting this person…and why? As part of this response please list and rank-order all the criteria you would use in the selection process.
LO8: Extrapolate the role that health care professionals, hostage negotiators, and tactical
team members play in successfully dealing with crisis and hostage situations
2. If during a negotiation (i.e., a hostage incident), and assuming you are the senior negotiator, how would you respond to a subject asking for a car to get them to the airport? Please be very specific/detailed as to how, i.e., specifically how you would respond and what if anything you would do…and why.
LO3: Recommend actions for negotiating in various circumstances; to include negotiating with
individuals with past military experience, and the emotionally disturbed;
3. Time can have both positive and negative impacts on a critical incident. Discuss in detail (in your own words) the use of time in a critical incident and why most situations would best be handled by “slowing things down.” Assume you are the on-scene commander at a hostage situation. What could you do to reduce the negative effects of time on the hostage negotiation team, the tactical team, and the perimeter and command personnel?
LO3: Recommend actions for negotiating in various circumstances; to include negotiating with
individuals with past military experience, and the emotionally disturbed
4. Using the Week 4 article titled “Getting to Yes” as a backdrop for your response, please identify (in your view) the top 5 lessons/take a ways from that article as it regards successfully negotiating. Then as a follow-up, fully defend your choices by clearly supporting (via additional referenced sources/real life examples) why each is important. For example, you can do this via a referenced example of one of the 5 being used in a real life scenario, i.e., where it made the difference in settling the crisis, etc.
LO3: Recommend actions for negotiating in various circumstances; to include negotiating with individuals with past military experience, and the emotionally disturbed; LO5: Compare and contrast soft versus hard negotiations.
