Subject: Suggestion for Officer Training in Mental Health Crisis Response

Dear Chief [Last Name],

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to suggest exploring Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for our officers. CIT is a widely recognized program that equips law enforcement with the tools to safely and effectively respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises.

Implementing this training could enhance officer safety, improve community trust, and better connect individuals to appropriate resources. I’d be happy to provide more details or discuss how other departments have successfully integrated CIT programs.

Thank you for considering this initiative to support both our officers and the community.

Best regards,
[Your Name]
