About the Program

Training Logistics

Yes, the S.T.A.R.S. Matrix is built on extensive research in behavioral psychology and is currently undergoing systematic field evaluation with law enforcement agencies. We are rigorously documenting implementation outcomes through both qualitative and quantitative measures. If your agency is interested in participating in our ongoing research initiatives, we welcome the opportunity to collaborate and further validate these evidence-based approaches.

Officers must have completed Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training before enrolling in the S.T.A.R.S. Matrix program. This ensures participants have the foundational knowledge necessary to fully benefit from our advanced communication techniques.
