92 - Behavioral and Crisis Intervention Teams: History and Context

On today’s podcast, we begin a three-part series on behavioral and crisis intervention teams with subject matter experts Andrew Cullen and Courtney Tassin. Today, they discuss the history of these teams, different types of teams, how co-response teams are implemented across different jurisdictions, how views on crisis intervention teams have shifted over the years, and more. The next episode in this series will air on Tuesday, April 16th. LSU NCBRT/ACE is a nationally recognized center for emergency preparedness and response training located at Louisiana State University’s flagship campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. We provide mobile training to both the national and international emergency response community. Together with our stakeholders, we challenge ourselves each day to influence human safety, security, and resilience in a positive manner.
