What Would You Do?
The chief was dissatisfied in the results. She felt that, in order for a program to be successful, it was important that the officers required to implement the program support it. Thus, she created a special committee to research the two models thoroughly, including both success-failure statistics of each and how much time/effort each would add to her officers' workloads. You were assigned to this committee, which found that, in the departments that have implemented them, there has been a notable reduction in inmates with mental illnesses and no significant increase in the workload. Although both programs appear to work well, your committee also found information on another program that combines aspects of both the CIT and co-responder programs. Known as the Crisis Intervention Response Team (CIRT) it may be a good compromise for your department.
You present your findings to the chief of police and she decides to have the department vote again to decide if the CIRT program is something that they can all agree on. She also shares that, if the department votes not to implement CIRT she will have to make the decision on which program to implement.
