Thank You for Visiting our Website.
We are committed to promoting training and networking of Hostage Negotiators in NY and Canada.
Association News:
The 5th Annual Conference was held in Rochester, New York from May 19 to 21, 2010. The event was again a big success with attendance at about 200 negotiators from all over NY state, the United States and Canada. Our next conference is in the planning stages and NYC is being researched as the next venue for the training seminar. More to follow.
Gary Noesner, the former Unit Chief of the FBI’s Crisis Negotiation Team in the late 1990’s through the early 2000’s, recently wrote a book entitled ‘Stalling for Time,’ which is due for release in September 2010. For information on purchasing his book click here.
During the NYAHN board meeting in Rochester, NY upon the conclusion of the annual conference, a motion was made to add to the executive board an additional Vice President to represent the Central New York (Syracuse Area) Region. Voted in as a new board member was Detective Jennifer Hardwich of Syracuse Police Department.
To encourage our goal of increased negotiator training throughout NY and Canada, we ask that any Crisis Negotiator Commanders advise us of upcoming team training so that we can post it in the Members Only Section.
