TXST hosts 33rd Annual Competition and Seminar on Crisis Negotiations

Each year, Texas State University hosts a competition where police officers become students and students become criminals.

Mock hostage negotiations kicked off on Tuesday for the 33rd Annual Competition and Seminar on Crisis Negotiations, attended by law enforcement officers and judges from across the globe.

Twenty-nine teams signed up for this year’s competition, according to Wayman Mullins, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Criminal Justice.
