The acronym POLICE CRISIS stands for Preparing Officers for Law Enforcement in CRISIS Situations. This acronym is used to refer to a program that trains POLICE officers to respond to high-stress situations, such as hostage situations, active shooters, and other emergency scenarios. The program also provides officers with the skills to de-escalate tense situations and use non-lethal force when necessary. The acronym is often associated with the term SWAT, which stands for Special Weapons and Tactics. SWAT teams are specialized units of POLICE officers who are trained to respond to dangerous situations.
