Shout Out: Shakopee Incident Response

By Janet Rodriguez-Ricci

I want to acknowledge the exemplary response of the squad at Shakopee serving in an incident on August 8, all of whom acted with compassionate presence while providing a safe environment for some of us non-uniformed staff who were assisting a volatile incarcerated individual with a very hard phone call.

The use of relaxed body posture and proximity as needed definitely helped this scene remain controlled, without eliciting a defensive response from the individual.

I am proud to be in collaboration with this team!
