This might mean standing up for your rights, defending a position you believe is correct, or simply trying to win.The Ally: "Join forces"The ally is an individual who attempts to work with the other person to find a solution that fully satisfiesthe concerns of both. This might mean exploring a disagreement to learn from each other's insights, or confronting and trying to find a creative solution to an interpersonal problem.The Negotiator: "Finding the middle ground"The Negotiator: "Finding the middle ground"For the negotiator, the objective is to find an efficient, mutually acceptable solution that partiallysatisfies both parties. This might mean splitting the difference, exchanging concessions, or seeking a middle-ground position.The Deflector: "Not going to deal with it"The deflector is an individual who does not address the conflict between his or her own concerns andthose of another person. This might take the form of side-stepping an issue, postponing an issue until a better time or simply withdrawing from a threatening situation all together.The Conformist: "Whatever you say"The conformist is an individual who neglects his or her own concerns, to satisfy those of others. Thismight take the form of self-sacrifice, generosity or charity, or yielding to another's point of view.This approach is useful when you realize that you are wrong or outmatched, when the issue is much more important to someone else than it is to you, or when you choose to satisfy the needs of others as a gesture of goodwill. It is also useful when preserving harmony and avoiding disruption are especially important, or when you want to let others develop by learning from their mistakes.Describe the steps of the problem-solving process1.

One of the reasons for yourdepartment's policies and procedures is to reduce your exposure to liability.Training; not only to keep your skills fresh, but also because you need to know what the courts have said. Take responsibility for your own training!One of the most important things that you can do to minimize liability in lawsuits is to thoroughly document all incidents that could result in liability, particularly documenting WHY you did what you did. Document incidents of inmate's potentially manipulative behavior (e.g. the female inmate who "accidentally" exposes her breasts to the male Corrections Officer).
