High-risk Hostage Rescue, Extraction & Negotiation Extraction 

Negotiation, Hostage & Rescue Operations Phases

The Initial Phase

The initial phase can be brief and violent because it only goes for the length of time of the attack that hostage-takers make to subdue their hostage(s). The initial phase ends with demands being made.

Negotiation Phase

When this phase happens, it’s usually because law enforcement or a private mediator has arrived and they have acknowledged the demands of the hostage-taker. This phase can last days, hours, or even months and is often called “the standoff phase.” Nothing much changes about the physical description of the scene greatly because the hostages and hostage-taker are in the same place. However, there are many things that happen during the negotiation phase in terms of emotional relationships that develop between everyone involved in the situation. This is when the negotiator comes in and tries to manipulate the relationships that are made in a way that makes the situation end peacefully.

Termination Phase

The final stage is brief and can sometimes be violent. This phase has three possible end-results: The hostage-takers are arrested after surrendering peacefully The hostage-takers are killed or assaulted by the rescue team before being arrested The demands are met, and the hostage-takers escape The fate of the hostages doesn’t always depend on how the final phase is completed.
