The CIT ECHO is a collaboration with UNM’s Project ECHO, the Albuquerque Police Department, and CIT Inc. to bring specialty training, support, and knowledge in CIT policing and behavioral health to front line law enforcement personnel. It does this by engaging law enforcement and providers in a continuous case based learning system and partnering them with specialist mentors at an academic medical center or hub. This is continues ongoing videoconferencing training and does not replace a traditional CIT course.

(CIT Inc.) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3), organization in Albuquerque, NM founded by a detective and a physician to help avoid and minimize crisis through various, innovative programs focused on raising community standards around behavioral health and crisis intervention.
