  • Building a Crisis Intervention Team in Your Community

    Building a Crisis Intervention Team in Your Community
    Aug 19 2014
    In the 1980s after the shooting of a mentally ill individual, the Memphis Police Dept decided to take a new approach to handling people in crisis. They developed the model for the CIT (Crisis Intervention Team), whose goal was to train law enforcement, mental health provider agencies and individuals and families affected by mental illness how to deal with someone in crisis. Twenty-five years later, the Memphis CIT program has had remarkable success – cutting injuries to police officers, developing a crisis assessment system for people with mental illness, reducing arrests and improving community relations. Its success has inspired 2,800 communities in 45 states across the country to start CIT programs. Listen in as Officer Vogt of the University of Illinois Police Department and 12 year veteran of CIT talks about his experiences on the CIT, and how you can work with local law enforcement to build this capability in your community.
