procedural notes, tables, strategy worksheets, and forms, and the
book includes special indices for quick reference in addition to a

action and results, leaving theoretical discussions for another
time and place. The book examines the negotiation process from

responsibilities, responding to the call-out, arriving at the
scene, preparing to negotiate, making contact, preparing for the
surrender, post-incident tasks, preparing equipment, and more.
