Crisis Intervention Team Training (CIT)
Description
The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program is a community partnership of law enforcement, mental health and addiction professionals, individuals who live with mental illness and/or addiction disorders, their families, and other partners to improve community responses to mental health crises. While CIT programs are known for CIT-trained officers, successful programs also focus on improving the crisis response system, advocating for needed services, and strengthening partnerships across the community.
Basic Goals:
1. Develop the most compassionate and effective crisis response system that is the least intrusive in a person's life.
2. To help persons with mental disorders and/or addictions access medical/mental health treatment rather than place them in the criminal justice system due to illness related behaviors.
3. Build relationships with local law enforcement and community resources
