Weekly News Wrap with Geoff Adams of the Shepparton Adviser

In this episode of Meeting Midway, we sit down with Chad Reyes, an expert in Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, to break down what CIT is all about and why it’s so vital for first responders. Chad explains the training’s focus on de-escalation techniques, scenario-based learning, and collaboration with mental health professionals, giving listeners an inside look at how it helps law enforcement and other first responders handle crises more effectively. 

Chad goes into detail about several benefits of CIT, including how it helps officers build rapport with individuals in distress and creates positive interactions them as well. He also compares CIT with Missouri’s “Tools of Choice” program, discussing how both help relate to one another. 

The conversation also touches on Chad’s specific role in CIT, where he leads training on intellectual disabilities (IDD) and using role-playing to simulate real-world scenarios. He provides examples of these role-plays, including how responders can handle situations involving high-stress situations.

As the conversation wraps up, Chad highlights the ways that officers can receive ongoing training and refresher courses to keep skills sharp, and shares resources for finding CIT programs in local communities. Whether you’re a first responder or just someone interested in learning more, Chad offers valuable tools and suggestions for further education on this critical topic.
