Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an Evidence-based communication style that involves strategic use of questions and statements to help people find their own reasons for wanting to change behaviors. Officers who become measurably "competent" in Motivational Interviewing have seen a notable reduction in the use of force and improved results with compliance. Motivational Interviewing will teach Law Enforcement professionals to build rapport with the community with a highly innovative, empathetic style of communication and in turn decrease high risk behaviors.
