CIT training

The next CIT training academy is scheduled for Oct. 20-24. CIT is a training and response program designed for law enforcement and other first responders who handle crisis calls involving people with mental illness, intellectual disabilities and alcohol and substance use disorders.

CIT training provides an “on-the-job-tool” that can be used by law enforcement personnel and other first responders to recognize mental health issues and crises and to assist in directing individuals with mental illness to the appropriate health care systems and reduce their involvement in the criminal justice system. For more information about CIT, call Charlene Meyers at the Johnston County Mental Health Center at 919-989-5575.
