The Safer Outcomes Deadline Is Close. Build a Program Your Agency Can Actually Sustain.
TACTBook and The Forge bring operational, clinical, safer-intervention, and lived-experience expertise together to help agencies strengthen crisis response, de-escalation, officer readiness, and organizational learning.
The operating environment
What this opportunity actually supports
Public safety teams face the same behavioral escalation curve as clinical staff — with less time, less information, and higher stakes.
Behavioral crisis is the new normal
A growing share of calls for service involve mental health, substance use, or acute emotional crisis. Officers need clinical-grade recognition skills, not just tactics.
Split-second decisions, lasting consequences
A shared language for escalation means partners, dispatch, and supervisors read the same cues and respond as one unit.
The agency remains the applicant
Your agency is the eligible applicant and remains responsible for registrations, application decisions, procurement, and submission. We support the program design.
Beyond a one-time class
The opportunity supports dynamic, ongoing de-escalation and crisis-response work — training, scenarios, supervisors, after-action review, measurement, sustainability, and officer recovery.
Lived experience

Program components
Five components, one sustainable program
TACTBook can help an agency connect training, scenarios, supervisors, after-action review, measurement, sustainability, and officer recovery — so the work continues long after training day.
