Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) |
||

Contact |
The Crisis Intervention Team program is a community effort partnering both police officers and the community together for common goals of safety, understanding, and service to individuals with mental illness and their families. Officers participate in a 5-day, 40 hour CIT training program. The professional provider community has recognized the need and efficacy of the CIT program and has partnered with law enforcement in providing the most effective training material possible. The training program consists of several classes taught by a variety of instructors including a Psychiatrist, a Substance Abuse Specialist, Social workers, Police Officers and representatives from NAMI. Panel discussions with service providers from the Community Mental Health Centers are also included. This training prepares the officer to safely de-escalate a crisis, determine the need for emergency treatment, and get the consumer to professional treatment as quickly as possible. Since embarking in this program in 2002, over 600 officers have been trained across Oklahoma in cities such as Oklahoma City, Midwest City, Del City, Moore, Norman, Edmond, Owasso, Enid, Seminole, and Broken Arrow. A training module has also been created for dispatchers to insure that they can properly get the calls to the CIT Officers that are listed on their roster. Program Benefits:
