Study Notes
Negotiation Operation Center (NOC)
- The NOC was set up in an office in a bank, across a narrow street from the Chase branch where the hostage situation was taking place.
- The proximity of the NOC to the crisis site was a disadvantage, ideally requiring a buffer zone.
Negotiation Team Strategy
- The policy is to work in teams, with multiple people on the line to analyze information and provide guidance.
- A team of 5 people or more may be involved, with each member listening in and providing input.
- Roles within the team include:
- Lead negotiator on the phone (Joe in this case)
- Team members listening in and providing input
- Analysts gauging the mood of the perpetrator
- Analysts listening for clues or "tells" to better understand the situation
Effective Listening
- The FBI's use of a team to facilitate effective listening is a testament to its complexity.
- It is not as easy to listen well as it may seem, requiring a team effort to fully understand the situation.
