"What I can tell you is that over a career in law enforcement involving investigating numerous vulnerable cases, many of them with mental illness, 10 years on the SWAT team as a negotiator, and dealing with numerous citizens with severe mental illness, the best training I have received to deal with a person in a mental health crisis has been the C.I.T. training from the Mental Health Crisis Response Institute. That is why I'm as passionate about this training as I am."
