MI-CIS Advanced This two-day course is designed to sharpen the intervention skills of responding officers by Integrating Communications, Assessment, and Tactics (ICAT) for a Patrol Officer response to crisis situations that do not involve firearms. Training topics include: Critical Decision-making Model, Crisis Recognition, Communicating Tactically, Officer safety and wellness, and scenario-based training. ICAT integrates learned skills with an emphasis on using them in tandem along with the importance of teamwork- using contact-cover skills and focuses specifically on situations involving persons with mental illness or in behavioral crisis to include “suicide-by-cop” situations. A high-impact consumer perspectives panel discussion with an interactive lunch is included in this course. This course also serves as an excellent annual “refresher” option for crisis intervention training. To learn more about the ICAT curriculum click here.
