Here’s the link to the slides and material from today‘s #crisisintervention training session with finalized notes on how we can make a difference in #deadpool‘S suicide crisis ;) bennizaiser.com/cit-internatio…

In wake of the killing of #SonyaMassey, @TheIACP is urging mandatory use of the National Decertification Index. This assumes a state has a robust decert law and that it is implemented well. We helped pass laws in 7 states but also saw states struggle on latter. Let’s fix this.

Micrometer-scale mineral particles can rapidly break into nanoparticles when in charged aqueous microdroplets. The results in Science point to a potential role for atmospheric water droplets in the natural disintegration of minerals. scim.ag/7eg #SciencePerspective

Let’s keep moving that needle…!!! #policing #polizei #crisisintervention

It's happening right now: presenting the results of the 3-year #mixedrelaity #H2020 project to the public - the MED1stMR final conference - happy to welcome you all here in Belgium

Especially for #police officers who have to assess #suiciderisk, asking the right questions can help avoid the harm of unnecessary hospitalization....

Although repeated self-harm is a known risk factor for suicide, not everyone who self-harms is suicidal. The reasons behind self-harm are complex. If you are concerned that someone's self-harm may be linked to thoughts of suicide, the only way to be sure is to ask.❤️

DYK suicide is a global public health crisis? Crisis support lines reduce suicide rates and can help reach the @UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals With 6 years left, NOW is the time to Decriminalise Suicide Worldwide suicide-decrim.network #DecriminaliseSuicideWorldwide

@Rafa_Mangual @BrandondelPozo Can you pls point the definition out? I downloaded the non-peer-reviewed, 23 page-paper and couldn't find a critical discussion or definition of self-defence. Page 9/10 lists the questions and breaks down if FA used or displayed etc...

@bennizaiser @BrandondelPozo You didn’t read the paper…

@Rafa_Mangual @BrandondelPozo Would've wished for the paper to discuss the limitations of the survey and what measures were taken to address these, it only asked if owners used their FA in self-defence, leaving it up to them whatever that means...

@Rafa_Mangual @BrandondelPozo That's how the peer nations ('other jurisdictions') typically done it. Not addressing the issue at the federal level seems to only perpetuate the problem: it keeps the discourse constrained to spurious argumentation, comparing states with states or cities with their peripheries

@BrandondelPozo Let me put it another way: Would the commission of a similar bad act in a jurisdiction that has much stronger gun laws justify, in your view, a repeal of said laws, given that they didn’t work as intended in that one instance?

A truly shocking example of the danger imperative in action. Deputy mistakes an acorn hitting his car for a gunshot and freaks out, screams that he’s hit, and then blasts at a vehicle where a suspect is being held. Unreal.

@DrLauraHuey Following up on @BrandondelPozo’s reply - sounds like interviews/Delphi-study? Is it data from CICs only or other members of the CICT? Looking forward to read it once the time comes!!

Working on a paper on core competencies for Incident Commanders. This is what I have so far from the data: - ability to engage in decision-making in imperfect information environments - command presence - knowing the KSAs of your team - disciplined listening
