CIT for Law Enforcement
Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) is a community-based collaborative between law enforcement and MHRB to educate officers and enable them to better handle mental health crises. CIT has been in existence since 2010 and maintains fidelity to the CIT core curriculum published by the Ohio Criminal Justice Coordinating Center of Excellence.
The program has had officers, dispatchers and other department staff from across Warren and Clinton Conties graduate from the program. Law enforcement with questions about CIT can contact MHRB at (513) 695-1695.
