Description of CME Course
Crisis intervention team (CIT) programs are partnerships between police and mental health community members developed with little involvement from psychiatrists. This article argues that psychiatrists should be one of the CIT program leaders to facilitate the transfer of persons in crisis from law enforcement to mental health care, make admission and civil commitment decisions, offer real-time telemedical support to officers or co-responders in the field, and collaborate with first responders in integrating responses to 911 and 988 calls.
