Does Jail Diversion Work?
The NAMI Law and Criminal Justice Action Center is pleased to announce the first issue of CIT in Action. This electronic newsletter will be published on a periodic basis and will feature news and information about police Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) programs as well as other information about jail diversion, community reentry and related decriminalization initiatives. The NAMI CIT Technical Assistance Resource Center has been established to serve as a repository of information about CIT and related pre-booking diversion initiatives as well as a catalyst for the development of these programs across the country. NAMI welcomes Bonnie Sultan as Coordinator of the CIT Technical Assistance Resource Center. Bonnie will be the point person in the development of a clearinghouse resource on CIT and jail diversion at NAMI-National.
