    It’s Deputy Alia’s day off, but instead of relaxing, she’s called in to negotiate with a barricaded suspect who has murdered his loved one. What follows is a tense and tragic police negotiation, as Alia uses her training and instincts to calm a panicked suspect and bring control to a chaotic barricade standoff.

    Deputy Alia has served with her agency for just over 10 years. She spent about 8 years on patrol, five of those as a field training deputy. The last two years she has spent in the training division where she is responsible for cadet training in the academy and agency training as a whole. Alia has also been a negotiator for the last four years, and is on call 24/7 for hostage/barricaded subject calls.
