When a wanted suspect barricaded himself inside a car and threatened to harm himself last week at Nicholls State University, police used special training to defuse the situation.
Using skills acquired in crisis intervention training, Nicholls and Thibodaux police worked together to take the suspect into custody peacefully.
“As law enforcement officers, we go through constant change and training,” Thibodaux Police Lt. Clint Dempster said. “Multiple sources and efforts were used in trying to defuse the situation for hours. Although physical retrieval of the subject was eventually necessary, the subject was safely removed and taken in for a medical evaluation. The crisis intervention training is one of those trainings that we at the Thibodaux Police Department are taking very seriously and are working hard to have all officers certified in this training.”
