Life-and-death negotiation with the NYPD:
Stories from the Hostage Negotiation Team
Commanding Officer Lt. Jack Cambria and Det. Elena Donnell
From Dog Day Afternoon to The Taking of Pelham 1,2,3, how do hostage negotiators train to talk non-stop? What can’t they say? What else does it take to bring out hostages and hostage-taker – alive? How does Hostage work with the Emergency Service SWAT team in these tense, real life-and-death dramas? Lt. Jack Cambria worked Emergency Services for 16 years before becoming Hostage C.O. in 2000. He served as tech adviser for Pelham – as well as the model for John Turturro's character in that film. Det. Elena Donnell is one of his most experienced negotiators. Once we get these Hostage experts in our National Arts Club dining room – you won't want to let them go! Reserve now for October 6th!
