SAFE, SMART, EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC CRISIS SITUATIONS
Proven strategies used by police departments nationwide.
This is your chance to take advantage of the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)
program. Over 300 Wisconsin law enforcement professionals have already
learned this state-of-the-art method of dealing with persons in psychiatric crisis.
Officers who have done so praise the program and applaud the training.
Through a partnership between Kenosha Police Department, Kenosha County,
Gateway Technical College, and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) of
Kenosha County, you can join the ranks of CIT-trained officers—and the training
will cost your department nothing.
CIT training is a comprehensive, five-day curriculum to help you recognize and
understand the signs and symptoms of mental illness, such as depression,
bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, as well as the associated
illnesses, such as dementia and developmental and cognitive disorders.
BUT MORE THAN THAT–you’ll learn:
• Options for facilitating de-escalation of mental health consumers in crisis
• Resources available to mental health consumers and their families in our
area
• How regular use of this program reduces the potential for crisis and/or
injury for the officer, the mental health consumer, and others
The training is much more than classroom presentations.
It’s also site visits, roleplaying, and chances for direct interaction with mental health consumers and
families.
