Today we're talking about Crisis Intervention Teams and the work they do to free up police resources for other jobs. Our guest today is a CIT officer and instructor I met at a training I went to this last year. His name is JD Pettey and he's a thirty year officer with about a decade specifically working with co-responders (the community behavioral health liaisons) to help people in need because of addiction and mental health problems. JD has a tremendous amount of experience and you're going to want to catch what he says is valuable about having officers who specifically specialize in CIT areas.
