	About CISM - CISM - Boston College
		Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) is a structured group process, facilitated by a small team of trained individuals, where those who have been impacted by a crisis or critical incident are given an opportunity to talk about and react to the incident and learn about the recovery process.
		A critical incident is a sudden, powerful event that is outside of the range of ordinary human experience.
		A critical incident has the potential to overwhelm the usual effective coping skills of either the individual or the group.

	Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) at Sea: Preventing Traumatic Stress
		Critical Incident Stress, therefore, is the stress reaction that a person or people may suffer in response to the incident.
		The response to a critical incident at sea will be dependent upon a variety of factors - the incident itself, the ship's location in relation to other Navy ships or shore facilities, the assets available from such ships or shore bases, and so on.
		The Mitchell Model of Critical Incident Stress Management, as an integrated system of services designed to prevent and/or mitigate traumatic stress, assist and accelerate recovery, restore the affected person to function, and maintain worker health and welfare, is the most effective model available to the Navy for the initial response to traumatic stress.

	FBI Publications - Law Enforcement Bulletin - August 1997 issue - Crisis Intervention: Using Active Listening Skills in ...
		When responding to a critical incident involving a hostage taker or barricaded subject, crisis negotiators generally confront one of two types of behavior-instrumental or expressive.
		They have lost their equilibrium and are experiencing heightened levels of arousal that interfere with their ability to function normally.2 While all critical incidents pose distinct problems, negotiators often find it particularly difficult to accommodate subjects who act out of emotional rage and appear to lack a clear sense of purpose.
		Indeed, when negotiators arrive at the scene of a critical incident to begin negotiations, they must remember that the subject is already in the midst of considerable internal turmoil.

		The Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG) facilitates the FBI's rapid response to, and the management of, crisis incidents.
		CIRG is just one of many rewarding career paths in the Bureau, but it seems pretty popular.
		Because CIRG employees don't really conduct investigations, the day-to-day job is different from "street agents." The bottom line, however, is that we're all working toward the same goal: saving lives, preventing crime and putting bad guys in jail.

	Reform of Federal Law Enforcement Practices
		However, the creation of CIRG fails to address the key issue posed by barricade and hostage situations: whether to negotiate and wait, or to bring increasing pressure to bear on the subjects, including the use of military equipment, until they break and surrender (or until they provoke the use of deadly force).
		For situations such as Waco where law enforcement confronts a highly motivated, ideological group, great weight must be given to the likelihood that "shrinking the perimeter" and other pressure tactics will only increase the cohesiveness and determination to resist of the barricaded group.
		In cases dealing with religious groups, the government should seek the expertise of qualified scholars on religion and avoid reliance on proponents of "cult" stereotypes.
