ABSTRACT
Detective, NYPD and licensed psychologist Professor Dr. Harvey Schlossberg in his own words shares both and his history below on the seminal development of hostage negotiations as he envisioned his beginnings with his trademark humility. The prototype course curriculum for Hostage Negotiation Teams owes much to the creative ingenuity of Dr. Schlossberg. The basic steps of Hostage Negotiation Teams are highlighted and are not forged in stone but are as malleable as the hostage negotiator, as situations are dynamic and change rapidly depending on unforeseen variables. Expert Police Hostage Negotiation Team Commander Captain Daniel Solitti has kept Jersey City safe and well served. He has achieved hostage negotiation goals in many situations. Law enforcement in the domain of hostage negotiations goes by intuition, raw unfolding events, and rational thinking by precedents as links in the common chains of inference and innovation.
