The goal of the Collaborative Response and Intervention Training (CRIT) program aims to enhance law enforcement's ability to effectively respond to individuals in crisis, particularly those experiencing mental health challenges, disabilities, or substance use disorders. By developing best-practice training programs and fostering collaboration between law enforcement and community service providers, CRIT seeks to promote safer interactions and improve overall outcomes for individuals in crisis. Ultimately, the program aspires to create a more informed and compassionate approach within law enforcement agencies, ensuring that officers are equipped to handle complex situations with empathy and professionalism.
The objectives of the training program include the development and implementation of evidence-based training using the Bureau of Justice Assistance’s (BJA) CRIT Curriculum. This involves equipping officers with effective de-escalation techniques and fostering collaboration with community service providers to create comprehensive crisis response strategies. Additionally, the program emphasizes the importance of evaluating training effectiveness to assess its impact on law enforcement responses. By encouraging the integration of crisis response training into standard practices, CRIT aims to establish sustainable improvements in how law enforcement interacts with individuals in crisis.
