The York County Crisis Intervention Team gathered Thursday to give away the first of 5,000 wristbands that they hope will help identify an individual diagnosed with mental illness in the event first responders need to interact with them in a crisis situation.
The wristbands will also be worn by police who are a trained CIT officer.
“The CIT initiative is a collaboration between the police, the courts, probation, mental health care providers and.individuals with mental illnesses, substance abuse issues and others in need as they interact with the criminal justice system and health care system,” Katherine Gruver, CIT coordinator for the county, said as she opened the presentation at York Area Regional Police in York Township.
