Retired educator Joe Paolo and Weirton Police Officer Brandon Palmeri demonstrate some of the techniques available to help de-escalate or counter potentially threatening or aggressive situations as part of an educational seminar organized by the Weirton Area Chamber of Commerce called "Non-Violent Crisis Resolution." Thursday's event, held at the T. Kosciuszko Hall in Weirton, was the first of the two-part series, which will continue Sept. 14. The presentation centers around non-verbal, verbal and mild physical techniques. Seventeen members of the local business community participated in Thursday's session. — Craig Howell
