CIT ASSIST Resource Center

The CIT ASSIST Resource Center is a members-only information hub and communications platform for the cohort of public-safety agencies awarded CIT Implementation funding by the United States Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office).

CIT ASSIST is a national initiative designed to increase the capacity of law enforcement agencies to effectively create or enhance crisis intervention teams (CITs). It includes a community of practice, training, and technical assistance services. Here members can connect with fellow cohort agency members and CIT experts to share ideas, lessons learned, resources, and more. 

CIT ASSIST is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), managed by the National Center for Policing Innovation with guidance from CIT International, and backed by a National Advisory Board of experts from law enforcement, mental health, and advocacy fields.

If you are a cohort member and need an enrollment key to join the Resource Center, please email citassist@ncpi.us.
