Congrats to Advanced EMT Frank Grandstaff for completing Crisis Intervention Training this week.

Another round of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training in the books. Congratulations to the officers and first responders who graduated from the 40-hour program this week as part of the Fall 2026 session! 👏

At NAMI West Central Indiana, we are proud to help train, organize, and support the CIT program. This program equips officers and first responders with the skills to recognize signs of mental illness, de-escalate crisis situations, and connect individuals to appropriate care. Instead of defaulting to arrest or incarceration, CIT-trained responders help ensure that people in crisis are treated with dignity and compassion.

We’re grateful for the participation and commitment of the following departments:
Benton County Emergency Medical Services
Carroll County Sheriff's Office-Public Information Page
Lafayette Police Department
Tippecanoe County Sheriff's Office
