Lenexa Police’s Crisis Intervention Team earns national certification
The Lenexa Police Department’s Crisis Intervention Team program recently became one of four agencies, and the first municipal agency, in the United States to earn national certification.
CIT International, INC. announced the Lenexa Police Department’s certification on April 7. Above, members of the department’s Crisis Intervention Team were recognized at the Lenexa City Council’s Tuesday meeting.
“It is a high honor to be the first municipal agency in the nation to earn this certification and I believe it reflects our commitment to best serving those individuals who live with mental illness in our community,” said Police Chief Dawn Layman.
