  • Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)

    • Sugar Land, a growing city with diverse communities, has a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) that provides compassionate assistance during mental health crises. The CIT bridges the gap between law enforcement and the community, ensuring individuals receive the help they need while maintaining public safety. When a person calls 911, a telecommunication dispatcher questions the reason and dispatches a CIT police officer or fire/EMS to their location. The CIT officers are trained in crisis intervention techniques and are compassionate listeners, skilled negotiators, and advocates for mental health. They establish strong relationships with mental health professionals, community organizations, and support networks, ensuring they provide appropriate care and resources for recovery. The CIT also educates law enforcement officers about mental health issues through training programs and seminars. Their impact is significant, contributing to a safer and more compassionate community-oriented law enforcement response. The CIT aims to build a community where mental health is valued and everyone receives the care, safety, and support they deserve.
