Connect with a program near you
Most CIT programs are happy to spread the word about CIT. Reach out to the CIT coordinator in a neighboring community to learn about their program and discuss your questions and concerns. This personal connection can give you the confidence that CIT can work for your community as well.
If there are no CIT programs in your state, choose a program in a neighboring state or look around the country for a community similar in size and demographics to yours.
