My partner and I have been responding to domestic violence calls together for two years and we've developed completely different approaches to de-escalation and I can see the tension building between us on scenes but we've never actually talked about it. We both know our inconsistency is making situations more dangerous but neither of us wants to admit our methods might be wrong.
More people experience this than they realize.
You and your partner handle tense calls differently and have never talked about it, and the clash is making things more dangerous.
