Officers from across Madison County celebrated their graduation from the Crisis Intervention Team Training.
The 40 hour training is optional, but it is encouraged to help officers learn how to respond to mental health concerns.
“A Crisis Intervention Trained officer are those that are trained to act with those in a mental health crisis. They are the ones who can go on the scene and take someone who is experiencing the worst day of their life and make it better,” said Leah Gray, a CIT instructor.
Knox Ferguson was a guest speaker and also celebrated his 22nd birthday with the officers.

What if you or a loved one experiences a mental health challenge that might normally involve a call to the New London police?
What if, instead of strictly a police response, your call was met with a different kind of intervention involvement of a skilled mental health navigator, a person who will be there in an ongoing, holistic way?
This could be the new reality if New London succeeds in expanding our highly successful opioid navigator model to meet new challenges.
A recently released report by the Public Safety Policy Review Committee recommended increased funding to the Department of Human Services and that the New London Police Department expand its Crisis Intervention Team Training program and Mobile Outreach, both operated by the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
