Crisis Intervention Team
The City of Gary is the first city in Northwest Indiana to develop a Crisis Intervention Team (C.I.T.). The C.I.T. model of police-based, community-based intervention is a model rooted in partnerships between the Gary Police Department, Methodist Hospitals, Edgewater Systems for Balanced Living, and the mental health advocacy group – NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill).
Identified members of the City of Gary Police Department and Fire Department received C.I.T. training that will provide them with needed skills on how to deal with the mentally ill.
Both healthcare facilities involved will provide professional care for individuals who are in need of services when officers are called to intervene and will provide instruction to new C.I.T. officers and firefighters.
