Chris White

Chris started his Law Enforcement career in 1992 as a Law Enforcement Specialist in the USAF.  In 1997, he became a Police Officer for the Henderson, Nevada,  Police Department.  During his career, he worked many assignments and saw many things.  In 2000, he was selected to join the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT).  He responded to approximately 300 call-outs and  talked to many people (over the phone, through a P.A., and face to face).

He began teaching Hostage/Crisis Negotiations in approximately 2002.  He started out providing quarterly training for his team and that soon blossomed into teaching blocks in basic schools. He has since provided training (basic and advanced) to local, state, and Federal agencies.

As his career progressed, he saw that training was his true passion. He found that he was most fulfilled when he could share information with a group of people who were eager to learn.

In 2012, he and Tom decided to take their passion for training to the next level and started Desert Training Group.  Their goal was to continue what they were doing, but on a larger scale.  They have been very fortunate to train some of the best Hostage/Crisis Negotiators in the nation.

Chris retired from the Henderson Police Department in 2019.  Chris has a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice Administration.
