The US Department of Veteran’s Affairs has issued a memo for the implementation of CIT Training. Many VA Police Departments are looking to comply with this memo and implement CIT but this can pose lots of challenges for them or for their communities which may already have a CIT program.

CIT International is hosting a 2.5 hour roundtable meeting for VA CIT Coordinators and anyone interested in working with their local VA to discuss ideas regarding best practices for implementing VA CIT programs with fidelity to this order and to the best practiced as espoused by CIT International.

At the conclusion of this roundtable, a document will be drafted listing the practices identified by the committee.
