Drawing on the tenets of community based policing, this engagement can help establish trust between the mentally ill and the police officers, which can be crucial to determining the outcome of crisis situations. CIT officers not only know how to handle situations in which a person is exhibiting behavior related to mental illness, they also know where to take a person who is suffering from a psychotic break or a mental health exacerbation.
