The  Crisis  Negotiation  Unit  (CNU)  responds  to  calls  alongside  the Tactical  Negotiations Team  (TNT)
 with the special focus on establishing communication, gathering information, defusing emotions and
 increasing options in often rapidly evolving situations. CNU works to create peaceful resolutions during
 volatile situations by establishing ongoing dialogue and rapport with the person or persons in crisis.


 These two teams work side-by-side and, together, provide the best solution for the safest outcome while
 keeping Washington County as the safest major urban county in Oregon.
