SPANISH FORK, Utah — After two different officer-involved shootings occurred this weekend, where one man was left dead and another hospitalized, FOX 13 News is taking a look at the training police receive when it comes to de-escalation and other scenarios.
Two such incidents occurred this past weekend — one on Saturday in Payson where a man was shot and injured, and one in Taylorsville where officers shot and killed 33-year-old Foueti Afeaki after a domestic violence incident. Police say he pulled out a handgun while talking to the responding officers.
Sgt. Noemi Sandoval with the Payson Police Department said their officers are Crisis Intervention Team certified and take part in training on de-escalation techniques, how to identify and handle individuals in a mental health crisis, and autism. She also pointed out the real-life experience where officers’ daily encounters deal with individuals experiencing mental health challenges in high-stress situations.
