Yesterday marked the first day of the 2026 CIT Symposium! We kicked off the event with a continuing education course for CIT Officers, featuring live actor simulations to strengthen de-escalation skills in realistic scenarios.

We also hosted our annual CIT Coordinator Meeting, where CIT coordinators from across the state gathered to share updates, exchange ideas, and build valuable connections through networking and collaboration.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an impactful first day. We're looking forward to another day of learning, partnership, and advancing the CIT mission together!
