NOTE Confidence: 0.92253566 00:00:08.872 --> 00:00:11.056 ASU is leading the nation on NOTE Confidence: 0.92253566 00:00:11.056 --> 00:00:12.677 one research project that's NOTE Confidence: 0.92253566 00:00:12.677 --> 00:00:14.657 wrapping up after four years.

She's in front NOTE Confidence: 0.92253566 00:00:23.045 --> 00:00:24.940 of the Tempe Police Department NOTE Confidence: 0.92253566 00:00:25.013 --> 00:00:26.878 to answer that very question. NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:30.590 --> 00:00:32.315 D escalation training isn't really NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:32.315 --> 00:00:35.086 anything new, but the research on it is. NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:35.090 --> 00:00:37.610 ASU has been working with the Tempe NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:37.610 --> 00:00:39.816 Police Department since 2017 to research NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:39.816 --> 00:00:41.940 its effectiveness in the study shows NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:41.940 --> 00:00:44.222 that it works after years of coming NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:44.222 --> 00:00:46.166 up with a curriculum and planning NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:46.166 --> 00:00:48.254 about half of Tempe police officers NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:48.254 --> 00:00:49.968 received this training in 2020, NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:49.970 --> 00:00:52.040 which means the other half didn't. NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:54.245 So ASU could compare the two groups NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:54.245 --> 00:00:55.850 responses to combative encounters. NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:00:55.850 --> 00:00:58.335 After reviewing data and hundreds I mean.

NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:01.140 --> 00:01:02.121 Doctor Michael White, NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:02.121 --> 00:01:03.756 professor in the School of NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:03.756 --> 00:01:05.339 Criminology and Criminal Justice, NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:07.248 says he found that officers who NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:07.248 --> 00:01:08.964 got the training were significantly NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:08.964 --> 00:01:11.268 less likely to injure people than NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:11.268 --> 00:01:13.740 officers who did not get the training. NOTE Confidence: 0.91590154 00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:15.490 58% less likely to injure. NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:18.100 --> 00:01:19.915 Officers who received the training NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:19.915 --> 00:01:22.466 were much more likely to try to NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:22.466 --> 00:01:24.136 build rapport with the citizen, NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:24.140 --> 00:01:25.910 and they were much more NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:25.910 --> 00:01:27.326 likely to show empathy. NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:27.330 --> 00:01:29.460 They were much more likely to NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:30.880 resolve the encounter informally, NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.010 that is not issue a ticket NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:33.010 --> 00:01:35.500 citation or make an arrest. So those NOTE Confidence: 0.92815197 00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:36.920 were three important differences. NOTE Confidence: 0.92833954 00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:44.164 Doctor White says he is presenting NOTE Confidence: 0.92833954 00:01:44.164 --> 00:01:45.888 his findings to the Department of NOTE Confidence: 0.92833954 00:01:45.888 --> 00:01:47.630 Justice tomorrow, but in the meantime, NOTE Confidence: 0.92833954 00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:50.208 if you want to learn more about this study, NOTE Confidence: 0.92833954 00:01:50.210 --> 00:01:51.878 you can go to gold bar NOTE Confidence: 0.92833954 00:01:51.878 --> 00:01:52.990 espresso here in Tempe.
