Conceptualizing Mediation Use By Patrol Police Officers, Christopher C. Cooper

Christopher C. Cooper Dr.

Police officers assigned to patrol duties, in America's big cities in particular, can mediate disputes to which they respond; as well as should make referrals to mediation\conflict resolution centers. When police officers employ excellent social interaction and problem solving skills, situations are de-escalated; the safety of officers and citizens alike is better insured and positive police-citizen interaction is achieved.
