Singapore Police Force Crisis Negotiation Unit

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU) is a specialist unit of the Singapore Police Force under the umbrella of the Special Operations Command. Its teams of specially trained police officers are called upon to defuse life-threatening situations through verbal crisis negotiation techniques for a non-violent resolution. The unit prides itself in successfully averting every single case of suicide it was called upon to help prevent since its formation.

Officers from the CNU were deployed overseas for the first time to aid in the handling of victims' families and relatives as a result of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake.
