Crisis Intervention Essentials

Due to high demand, orders may take 3-5 business days to ship.

Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs are designed to help officers safely and effectively respond to people in crisis, especially those experiencing mental illness, substance use, or emotional distress. But after the initial training is over, it’s easy to forget details.

Crisis Intervention Essentials is a flashcard reference deck designed to reinforce the fundamentals of crisis response. It reinforces core CIT principles with quick, accessible guidance officers can use on the spot. Each card focuses on a specific topic and offers direct, plain-language reminders on what to look for and how to respond.

The deck is organized into eight color-coded categories to make information easy to find:

• Behavioral Conditions (Green)

• Tactical Communication (Yellow)

• Response Considerations (Purple)

• De-escalation Strategies (Blue)

• Crisis Checklists (Orange)

• Legal and Procedural (Red)

• Decision Models (Grey)

• Officer Wellness and Mindset (Black)

Crisis Intervention Essentials is not a replacement for CIT training, but it helps keep that training fresh when it matters most.
