This training is modeled after Memphis’ 40 h Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training, a core component of their flagship CIT Program, and is designed, in part, to teach officers about the nature of mental illness as well as effective strategies for deescalating potentially volatile interactions. Some police departments have departed from the Memphis Model, where participation and completion of the training is voluntary, and have begun mandating that their officers complete the 40 h crisis intervention training. This study investigates patrol officers’ perceptions regarding this training mandate as well as their views on the utility of the training. The qualitative data were collected from a large, Midwestern, municipal police department and were triangulated to include the following: (1) 227 h of participant observation, (2) semi-structured interviews with police patrol officers who had completed the training (N = 32); and (3) interviews with executive command staff, CIT coordinators, Crisis Response Team officers, and telecommunications personnel (N = 13).
