NJ encourages all Counties to Join and Benefit from our CIT Trainings Connect with the Team and Join Our Counties
The New Jersey Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Center of Excellence was initiated in 2007 as a technical support center to assist NJ counties in developing and implementing the Memphis TN CIT model. It is funded through the NJ Division of Mental Health and Addictions and is a program of Legacy Treatment Services NJ. The CIT-NJ lapel pin is worn by thousands of law enforcement officers and mental health professionals throughout the state.
CIT-NJ is a county based collaboration of law enforcement professionals and mental health professionals who are committed to developing a local system of services that is responsive to individuals with mental illness, family members and the police officers. The CIT-NJ model strives to provide law enforcement officers and mental health professionals with knowledge and skills that allow them to respond to the individual in psychiatric crisis in a manner that minimizes the potential for injury. In addition, the CIT-NJ model can be instrumental in helping to divert the individual with serious mental illness from the criminal justice system to appropriate mental health treatment.
The CIT-NJ Center of Excellence is available to assist and support all NJ counties in developing a CIT program. For more information about bringing CIT to your county, contact NJ State Crisis Intervention Director, Edward C. Dobleman, via CIT-NJ Cell Phone at 856-938-9918.
