Providing specialized crisis response through successful partnerships
关于我们
NWTCIT provides a specialized, well-executed response to individuals in the community who have mental illness or are in active crisis. NWTCIT is comprised of hybrid uniformed patrol officers, detectives, firefighters, and paramedics among the cities of Azle, Lake Worth, Saginaw, Pelican Bay, and Reno partnered with mental health clinicians provided by the local mental health authority. Members have received specialized training in behavioral health crisis intervention and crisis negotiation. Members perform all their usual duties including responding to 911 calls for service and investigative follow ups, however are subject to be dispatched concurrently to crisis calls in any of the partnering cities in order to provide a specialized response. Each case is subsequently followed up on in order to ensure the person received the resources and support to prevent further emergency response. This approach seeks to provide proper disposition of crisis calls, as well as enhance the safety of both the community and first responders.

“Modern solutions focus on teamwork, expert knowledge, and putting the community first”
Picture this: a mental health crisis unfolds on a quiet street. But instead of just police sirens, something different happens. A unique team arrives – a police officer working alongside a mental health professional. This isn’t just a new way of handling emergencies; it’s completely changing how we help people in crisis. The numbers tell a fantastic story: These teams have handled over 25,900 calls in Colorado, and 98% ended without arrests. This fresh approach isn’t just getting better results – it’s reshaping how we think about public safety and crisis response. Check out the article below to dive into the co response team. ?????? https://hubs.li/Q02_6Vwl0

“There is no one-size-fits-all solution to best addressing mental health calls. No matter the style, the purpose is all the same”
Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest impact! In Bexar County, mental health crisis teams are ditching their uniforms for polo shirts and unmarked cars—and it's working. Residents feel more comfortable opening up when they don't see badges and police lights pulling up to their homes. This shift in approach demonstrates how thoughtful changes to crisis response can build community trust and improve outcomes.
