CIT in Muncie

posted Apr 30, 2013, 6:55 AM by Joshua Sprunger   [ updated Apr 30, 2013, 7:19 AM ]

Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training has come to Muncie, Indiana for the first time. A broad coalition is holding a groundbreaking training this week. Evidence shows this step will increase public and officer safety, and help people living with serious mental illnesses to find treatment, rather than incarceration.

We are proud to partner on this project with NAMI Delaware County, the Muncie Police Department, the Ball State Police Department, the Delaware County Sheriff's Department, Meridian Health Services, and Ball State's Criminal Justice and Criminology Department.
