Might better police training make a difference? Recently, a coalition of 11 national police organizations adopted a de-escalation policy. And in Salt Lake City, after a series of controversial police shootings, the police department increased de-escalation training and even began recognizing individual officers with de-escalation awards for defusing potentially violent situations. Since that policy was instituted in 2015, no Salt Lake City officer has killed anyone.


Since that policy was instituted in 2015, no Salt Lake City officer has killed anyone.
