About the Event
This is an approved I-70 West Training Region POST Grant funded training. There is no registration cost to approved Colorado Peace Officers in the state.
Crisis Intervention Teams (CIT) training is an intensive 40-hour curriculum
designed to enhance the abilities of law enforcement officers and other
public safety professionals to effectively respond to crisis calls, particularly
when behavioral health problems are involved. CIT is a broad-based
community partnership designed to:
✓ Increase officer and citizen safety
✓ Minimize use of force and unnecessary arrests
✓ Promote diversion from jail to community-based mental health
treatment when safe and appropriate
✓ Intervene early and proactively to reduce chronic calls for service
NOTE: Effective October 1, 2021 students must notify the I-70 West Region at least 14 days prior to the training if they are not able to attend the training. If sufficient notification is not provided, your agency may be restricted from receiving future regional POST grant funding (class, scholarship, training, equipment) for a period of up to six (6) months. Any penalties issued will be at the sold discretion of the I-70 West Region board.
