Report on how agencies can adapt current systems to successfully implement CIT
After the site visit, each partner in CIT should have a clearer understanding of the requirements of CIT for their individual agency. At this point, agency leaders will probably ask: "Can we do this?" The representatives who participated in the CIT visit are responsible for answering their agency leader's questions. By explaining how another community overcame systems challenges, representatives can make the case that your current systems can be adapted to successfully implement CIT.
Perspectives: This is likely to be a critical juncture in the CIT process. Leaders and executives have now spent a considerable amount of time and personnel assessing the feasibility of CIT, and may need to commit to making changes to agencies' existing policies and procedures. If agency leaders have gotten this far, it is a positive sign that they are committed to moving forward with CIT.
