ICAT was created by which organization?

• A. Police Executive Research Forum (PERF)
• B. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
• C. National Institute of Justice (NIJ)
• D. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF)

Answer: (A)

ICAT de-escalation training was created by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF). PERF is a nonprofit organization that studies policing practices and develops training and policy guidance for law enforcement. They designed ICAT as a framework to help officers apply de-escalation techniques in encounters, with the aim of reducing use-of-force incidents. The National Institute of Justice supported the project with funding and evaluation, but did not create ICAT. The FBI and ATF are federal agencies and were not the originators of ICAT.
