Crisis Intervention Training (CIT)
The Montpelier Police Department will be working with all Washington County police departments, the Washington County State Attorney's Office, Washington County Mental Health Services, the Central Vermont Medical Center, and mental health peers and advocacy organizations to establish a Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) Program. CIT is a community partnership of law enforcement, mental health and addiction professionals, individuals who live with mental illness and/or addiction disorders, their families, and other advocates. It is an innovative first-responder model of police-based crisis intervention training to help persons with mental disorders and/or addictions access medical treatment rather than place them in the criminal justice system due to illness-related behaviors. It promotes officer safety and the safety of the individual in crisis1.I would like to invite you to attend a virtual town hall to discuss CIT. We can also talk about any other topics or concerns you may have regarding the Montpelier Police Department's efforts in servicing our community.
