Troopers, sheriff’s deputies graduate from Crisis Intervention Team training Advanced class designed to help first responders recognize and respond to mental illness
By Pete DeMola EDITOR
LEWIS | People aren’t always at their best during encounters with law enforcement.
But while police may be dispatched to handle an incident, it isn’t always a law enforcement issue, but rather a mental health one. That’s the concept underpinning Crisis Intervention Team training.
Twelve members of the New York State Police and Essex County Sheriff ’s Office graduated from Crisis Intervention Team training on Friday, Nov. 17 at the Essex County Public Safety Building in Lewis, New York. Photo by Pete DeMola

Six state troopers and six Essex County sheriff ’s deputies graduated from the weeklong program last Friday at the Essex County Public Safety Building. “The purpose of this initiative is to enhance crisis intervention services by improving how the criminal justice and behavioral health systems identify and handle individuals experiencing mental health-related crises within our community,” said Essex County Director of Mental Health Steve Valley. People with specific behavioral health needs — including those grappling with substance abuse or mental illness — may not respond to police in a rational manner when engaged in a mental health crisis, explained said Don Kamin, director of the Institute for Police, Mental Health and Community Collaboration in Rochester. This can lead to unnecessary conflict with first responders.
