Thompson which uses 5 rhetorical elements of perspective, audience, voice, purpose and organization. It uses martial arts philosophy of deflect and redirect using verbal communication. What you may call good public relations which is good, George calls it maintaining your "professional face." A good article but for specific techniques I would recommend verbal judo.

Taking control of the scene and the suspect is critical. Words are words, let them be. That is why taking control of your suspect and putting him in cuffs as soon as possible is key. Once you have him under cuffs, he is your prisoner and your responsibility. Offer water, a smoke, calm the suspect. Immediately remove him from his surroundings, including those with whom he was captured with. Offer to get his shoes, clothing for his trip to jail. Once you have control over the prisoner, you control the situation. Dont get outraged by his comments, and never-ever lose your temper. Things can get pretty emotional once you are on scene. Calm the people your suspect was found with. Command a presence with them, but let them know you are doing your job. Give them information on how to get back in touch with the Bail bond Company, or how to reach him in jail. However you have to deal with others on the scene, do it quickly and remove yourself. The longer you are on scene, the longer a bad situation has to develop. Marine1 Excellent advise. Taking control of the scene and the suspect is critical. Words are words, let them be.
