Technical assistance.

The South Shore CIT-TTAC supports departments within Norfolk, Plymouth, Barnstable and Bristol counties with taking the time to review policy and make revisions that are appropriate from a CIT lens. Policies serve as essential tools for guiding, directing, and clarifying best practices. It's crucial for departments to regularly review their existing policies, especially those relevant to Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) work, such as Holding Cell, Q5, Report Writing, or NIBRS protocols. This ensures that policies are interconnected and aligned with the overarching principles of CIT and your organization's mission statement.

There are a multitude of variations for a Crisis Intervention Team within a department. Options include having an in-house unit, embedded clinicians, interdepartmental partnerships, contracted clinicians through a social agency, etc.

The South Shore CIT-TTAC is grant funded to provide CIT trainings, tactical assistance, co-response and more to the Norfolk, Plymouth, Barnstable counties. We provide support with departments looking to apply for relevant grants.

The South Shore CIT-TTAC has deeply developed relationships with local government and social agencies to both train law enforcement, and support our communities. We facilitate the South Shore HUB, with the specific catchment area of the Quincy District Court, and are connected to HUBs throughout the state.
