CCC Crisis Intervention Team Graduation
On Friday, February 24, 2012, eighteen Cleveland County law enforcement officers graduated from Cleveland County Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training program during a ceremony at Cleveland Mall’s Shelby Police Department Substation.

Officers learn how to better respond to an individual in mental crisis, and help those individuals receive care for the crisis.
