Programs

To date, there are 24 CIT initiatives in varying stages across the Commonwealth.  These 24 programs cover 68% of all localities in Virginia.  The interactive map below breaks programs down by locality.  Localities are determined by the CIT program's jurisdiction, typically the local community services board or community criminal justice board.  

Program Statuses are defined as:  

Operational: Programs that have a stakeholder taskforce which meets regularly and provides program oversight and educational outreach, has a CIT coordinator in place, has trained the number of CIT officers necessary to provide 24/7 CIT response capability, has an established therapeutic assessment location or protocol in place and has begun collecting data to assess the efficacy of the program.  

Developing: Programs that have a well established stakeholder taskforce with a CIT coordinator in place or dedicated leadership, have a significant number of trained local CIT officers and CIT faculty and are working toward the implementation of a therapeutic assessment location or establishing protocols to enhance linkage to services in lieu of incarceration.  

Planning: Programs that are establishing a stakeholder taskforce, studying the CIT model, providing initial officer and mental health provider training and developing partnerships to address options for implementing assessment locations or establishing protocols to enhance linkage to services.
