Values of CIT
Nothing is more personal than the consumer’s own story in their own words
Nothing provides more insight than a family member discussing dealing with the day to day issues and experiences with a loved one who suffers from a mental illness, including the services provided, or not provided, by the police
It is difficult to obtain a child’s perspective

RESOURCES
Role Plays
Who is your student?
Provides an opportunity for the officer to use their active listening skills
Specific role plays on different days to match the topic of the day
Role Plays
Use mental health professionals as actors
In Child CIT classes use child actors or police explorers
In police suicide role plays use police officers as actors
Role Plays
Graded to provide immediate feedback
Graded on initial approach, tactics, obtained relevant information, establish rapport, and disposition of the call
Practice for skill test role play at the end of the course
Optional Courses
Jail DiversionNot optional for us because it’s required by TCLEOSE but it is an excellent opportunity to show why diversion is preferable to arrest and booking
Invite the local Mental Health Authority to come in and present the class
Optional Courses
Excited Delirium
Officers will get calls that may appear to involve a person in a mental health crisis when in reality the person is in a state of delirium and at high risk of death if handled improperly
Excellent opportunity to provide officers with critical information that may involve civil and criminal liability
Optional Courses
Homeless Issues
Again, not optional for us, but a great class to highlight the large number of homeless persons who have a mental illness and, more recently, the problem of veteran’s who are homeless and experiencing PTSD, traumatic brain injuries or other mental illnesses
Include Relevant Subjects
ADHD, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder
