When police partners disagree on de-escalation tactics during domestic calls

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.

What we've seen

Two officers are avoiding a fundamental conversation about tactical differences that could compromise their safety and effectiveness.
