This 5-day course addresses one thing all law enforcement agencies face, whether you live in a small town or a large city, potential for violence is always present. Incidents involving active shooter, barricaded subjects, domestic violence calls, custody battles, hostage takers, or persons threatening suicide represent especially trying and stressful moments for law enforcement personnel who respond to them. To successfully resolve these types of situations, police departments must have in place specialized units at their disposal. One of those specialized units is the Hostage/Crisis Negotiation Team. This is a comprehensive course geared towards both small and large agencies and departmental size is taken into consideration with each exercise. Past attendees, that have attended both Federal and State trainings, have praised this course for being geared towards municipal agencies and likely scenarios.

Instructor: Instructor: Alan “Boe” Bostjancic retired as a police sergeant after 30 years of service. During his tenure with the department, Boe worked in the Field Operations Bureau, Vice and Narcotics and Detective Division. Boe was, also, the Executive Officer (XO) of the department’s 28-member Hostage Crisis Negotiation Team. Boe received his training by completing all four phases of training through the International Association of Hostage Negotiators. As XO, Boe was responsible for training numerous local, state, and Federal agencies such as the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS). Boe still works closely with the International Association of Hostage Negotiators, as he currently serves the association as its Virginia Director. As a police officer and sergeant, Boe received numerous awards and letters of commendation from his department and other agencies. A significant achievement took place on June 16, 2011, when a special flag was flown over the George Bush Center for Intelligence (CIA Headquarters) to commemorate his efforts in training members of their agency. Prior to joining the law enforcement field, Boe served honorably for eight years in the United States Marine Corps as an Amphibious Warfare/Recon Instructor. Boe joined the growing list of professional instructors for SRR Training in 2015.
