Report Review and Approval for Supervisors 

The Gap-Free Narrative©

Instructor: Al Bello

April 6, 2026

 8am – 5pm

STUDENTS MUS  BRING A CHARGED LAPTOP and 10 copies of a single report they’ve approved in the past for a violent crime.

Class will meet at: Peru PD, 2650 N. Peoria Street, Peru, IL 

Enrollment Deadline:  March 30, 2026

Maximum Students: 25

Course Objective

This class sets up police supervisors for success in police report review and subsequent approval. For far too long, the assumption has been that once someone is promoted, they automatically know what a “good” report looks like.  Nothing could be farther from the truth, and this is an area that requires just as much, if not more, training than other areas of police work. This 8-hour course is designed to provide law enforcement supervisors with a system of review for report narratives with defense-resiliency in mind.  This will be achieved by using the Gap-Free Narrative™ approach created by Offset Consulting LLC.

This class trains supervisors with report approval authority on how to properly review reports with a Gap-Free mindset.  This system will teach report approvers how to check for inconsistencies in articulation and will also provide them with a way to begin standardizing the way their agency approaches the approval of a police narrative.

 Course Content

Under this lesson plan and the principles of the Gap-Free Narrative™ system, students will learn how to use the system’s checklist and narrative breakdowns. This new approach will teach how to analyze a narrative to ensure it has the parts necessary in it, and then employ a checklist to ensure all aspects of the reported-on incident are being documented.

Fundamentals of Realistic De-Escalation (FSI)

Instructor: Forced Science

April 13, 2026

 8am – 5pm

Class will meet at: CIPTC, ICC Peoria Campus, 5407 N. University, Poplar P101, Peoria

Enrollment Deadline:  April 6, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum – 20 Maximum – 64

Course Description and Lesson Purpose:

Law enforcement agencies have come under intense pressure in recent years to prioritize their efforts at “de-escalation.” We will discuss the often-challenging expectations of law enforcement professionals to gain compliance without using physical force and how oftentimes, this may not be realistic or safe. The legitimate goal of de-escalation tactics is to resolve problems with minimal harm. This distinction is critical.

The course will present law enforcement concepts and methods to support de-escalation efforts. Attendees will be provided with knowledge to apply core skills of incident stabilization, tactics and decision-making and verbal and non-verbal skills to establish contact, build rapport and create influence with difficult subjects.

Learning and Training Objectives:

Students will learn a wide variety of skills during this course including:

At the end of this training, the participant will be able to:

• Articulate what ‘de-escalation’ actually means, what the objectives of de-escalation are, and in what situations de-escalation can and cannot be considered
• Discuss the tactical principles of de-escalation, risk assessment and decision-making
• Quickly evaluate an interaction to determine whether de-escalation efforts are reasonable to consider, tactically practical, and likely to be successful
• Apply critical Force Science® concepts such as the “Response-ability Zone” and the “7 T’s De- escalation Evaluation Model” to evaluate tactics that are needed or likely to be successful in supporting a de-escalation process
• Enhance their ability to make a connection, establish rapport and apply effective principles of persuasion with difficult subjects, including mentally ill subjects, through the application of the ‘Behavioral Influence Stairway Model’
• Learn and apply the ‘Thought/Emotion/Behavior’ (TEB) Matrix to quickly recognize whether a subject is in ‘conflict’, ‘crisis’ or has ‘contaminated’ thinking and therefore which strategies of persuasion are likely to be the most effective
• Employ specialized questions specifically designed to cognitively engage individuals in crisis and increase the likelihood of resolution that either avoids force or minimizes the amount necessary to obtain control
• Better ensure that officers’ approach and control strategies maximize their response options while minimizing the potential for unnecessary emotional and/or physical escalation
• Balance the desirability of trying to resolve a conflict peacefully with the need to maintain officer and public safety
• Apply principles of officer self-regulation and emotional control in order to maintain rational thinking processes

• Help community members and the media better understand what realistic de-escalation entails and the challenges that subjects may present that can inhibit, if not prohibit, an officer’s ability to safely de-escalate.
