Asking open-ended questions helps you discover crucial information.
So next time you notice yourself asking a closed, “yes or no” question, try by starting with what, how or why. You’ll be amazed by what you discover.

At the core of #InsightPolicing is the strategic use of curiosity.
Why? Because curiosity allows citizens to feel heard & understood, ultimately opening lines of communication & creating connection - a critical component for gaining cooperation.

Asking questions is just the first step in Insight #Policing approach to challenging encounters. Actively listening to the person's response is just as important, so you can pull from these details to get to the real root of the problem and stabilize the situation.

If we can remember that when faced with aggression, resistance & noncompliance, we can direct our curiosity towards asking “What’s the threat?” & “Why that defense?
When we do, we unlock information that can help us move forward productively.
