hostage negotiation
Crisis bargaining process
Hostage negotiation is the process of communicating with someone holding captives, typically to secure their safe release.
Law enforcement agencies employ trained negotiators who work to establish rapport, buy time, and find peaceful resolutions: The hostage negotiation lasted twelve hours before the gunman surrendered.
