The Mental Health, Addiction and Recovery Services Board of Lorain County is proud to graduate 22 officers from the 40-hour week-long Lorain County Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training. Training consisted of how to properly engage with someone experiencing a mental health crisis including de-escalation skills. Presentations were given by several Lorain County agencies, who work with those struggling with mental health and substance use disorders.
The officers learned about the many resources in Lorain County aimed at getting the assistance they need to prevent, among other things, unnecessary incarcerations and use of force.
Graduates were from the following departments:
Avon Police Department
Avon Lake Police Department
Elyria Police Department
Lorain Police Department
Lorain County Adult Probation
Lorain County Metro Parks - Ranger Department
Lorain County Sheriff's Office
Sheffield Village Police Department
Vermillion Police Department
