2025 Crisis Intervention Team Training

19 new, local law enforcement, corrections and probation officers became certified Crisis Intervention Team officers on August 22, 2025. The goal of a CIT is to de-escalate situations, improve safety for both officers and individuals with mental illness, ensure appropriate mental health care access, and divert people from the justice system into treatment. These programs involve specialized training for officers, collaboration between law enforcement and mental health services, and community partnerships.
