A call to a police negotiator often means one thing: someone is on the verge of life and death. Magdalena Bysiak shares what the work of a negotiator is really like—no Hollywood clichés, no lone hero on the roof, and no easy recipes. In this conversation, you'll hear what it's like to interact with someone in a suicidal crisis, why sometimes people don't say "hello," how a negotiating team works, and why the "two" can be more important than the person conducting the conversation. There are also stories that will stay with you for a long time: a child held hostage, a drugged person on a windowsill, negotiations in prison, and an incident that ended differently than everyone expected.
