The Taylor Police Department has three officers assigned to the
Downriver Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) and is a component of Downriver
Mutual Aid. CNT works closely with SWAT during high-risk incidents and
serves as the communications arm of the SWAT team.
The unit is comprised of officers from all divisions of the
department who have received advanced training in techniques of
communication and negotiation. Team members respond with the SWAT Team
to resolve crisis, hostage and/or barricade situations, through
negotiation.
