Two surveys were conducted on the crisis intervention team (CIT) model, a police-based program designed to improve responses to individuals with mental illnesses.
Data were collected between July and September 2013 from 171 police chiefs and sheriffs (42 had implemented CIT in their agency), and 353 law enforcement officers (273 had CIT training) in Georgia.
Police chiefs and sheriffs reported barriers to implementing CIT, such as not having enough officers and insufficient access to mental health services. CIT-trained officers differed from non-CIT-trained officers only with regard to being less likely to use force in response to a man with psychotic agitation described in a vignette, when the analysis controlled for whether the officer carried an electronic control device.
Some hypothesized differences, such as in job satisfaction and work burnout, were not observed. However, CIT-trained officers appeared to be less likely to revert to force in a situation involving psychotic agitation.
对危机干预团队（CIT）模式进行了两项调查，该模式是一项以警察为基础的项目，旨在改善对患有精神疾病者的应对措施。
2013年7月至9月期间，收集了佐治亚州171名警察局长和治安官（其中42人已在其机构实施CIT）以及353名执法人员（其中273人接受了CIT培训）的数据。
警察局长和治安官报告了实施CIT的障碍，如警员不足和获得心理健康服务的机会不足。在分析中控制了警员是否携带电子控制设备后，接受CIT培训的警员与未接受CIT培训的警员的不同之处仅在于，在应对一个案例中描述的患有精神病性激越的男子时，前者使用武力的可能性较小。
未观察到一些假设的差异，如工作满意度和职业倦怠方面的差异。然而，在涉及精神病性激越的情况下，接受CIT培训的警员似乎不太可能诉诸武力。
