Mental Health Crisis Response for Public Safety (CIT-Based)

CIT-based (Memphis Model) crisis response for law enforcement: recognize, de-escalate, connect, and divert — with sequential-navigation controls and a completion certificate.

Auto-issued completion certificate with seat-time and sequential-navigation tracking suitable for POST/IADLEST submission packages. Professional-development training, not clinical therapy. Subject-matter review by SEHG required before publication; state POST acceptance is jurisdiction-specific and not implied.

Course Overview

A self-paced, CIT-based mental health crisis response course for law enforcement, built on the Memphis Model of Crisis Intervention Team training. Covers recognizing signs and symptoms of mental illness and substance-use crisis, CIT de-escalation skills, suicide risk and intervention, legal and liability considerations, community resources and diversion (care over custody), and scenario-based application. Sequential navigation with seat-time tracking is enforced for POST/IADLEST-style accountability. Pre-assessment opens the course; the same instrument closes it as the certificate-gating post-assessment, with per-module knowledge checks.
