The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a law enforcement mental health crisis response developed by the Memphis, Tennessee Police Department in 1988. It teaches the de-escalation model of mental health crisis response. This training for corrections and detention staff is a 4-day program developed to address real world situations found in jails and prisons. In Minnesota, CIT is taught using stop action, scenario based role plays with professional actors. Classroom training is presented by community leaders and professionals in their area of expertise. Participants will learn skills that can be taken back to their facilities and apply them to situations involving persons in custody with a variety of mental health concerns or disruptive behaviors. CIT officers will learn a more humane and calm approach to reduce the likelihood of physical confrontations. Much of the curriculum for this class has been promoted in Minnesota by the Barbara Schneider Foundation to improve crisis response since 2000. The Barbara Schneider Foundation uses this training event to build and strengthen collaboration between all the systems that respond to persons at risk for mental health crisis.
