Last week, April 20-24, Sgt. Mike Williams, along with first responders from around the area, had the privilege of attending the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training.
CIT trained officers undergo 40 hours of intensive training, which helps them identify mental health resources to assist people in crisis. The training connects officers with mental health professionals and other community agencies to create a team that can provide support when a challenging situation occurs. In addition, officers learn verbal de-escalation skills and experience scenario-based training on responding to crises.
Huge thanks to our allied agencies which, through our partnership, make this training happen. This is a true testament to the level of commitment to serve our communities.
