âAt least three local police departments plan to join a county-wide program that offers crisis intervention training (CIT) to police officers.
âJennifer McCarty, director of clinical services project management at Genesee Health Systems (GHS), said theyâre in the
planning stages of creating this program, which would train officers to better help someone in a mental health crisis. The program also includes having a co-responder who specializes in mental health training ride along with officers and assist on calls when someone is in a crisis.
ââThe training for the officers will provide them with greater insight into the needs of the mental health community and also allow them to interact with persons who may be experiencing a mental health issue,â she said. âThe co-responders will provide them with a solid tool in helping them get that person linked to treatment.â
