<strong>COSIG</strong> Co-Occurring Disorders Conference, Hershey PA, May 15-17, 2006<br />

What CIT is not.<br />

• It is not a cure-all for police problems<br />

involving mentally ill persons.<br />

• It is not a guarantee that there will not be a<br />

use of force (even deadly force) situation.<br />

• It does not promote bad or unsafe tactics.<br />

Partnerships are the KEY<br />

• Interdisciplinary focus<br />

• Working together to solve problems and<br />

create solutions<br />

• Who Wins?<br />

– The police<br />

– The mental health system<br />

– The mental health consumer<br />

– The whole community<br />
