Summary
This study looked at whether a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training helps police officers improve their verbal de-escalation skills and body language when responding to mental health crises. About 242 officers were randomly assigned to receive the training or not, and their skills were measured at 3 and 6 months. The goal is to see if the training leads to better, safer interactions with people in crisis.
