The 11th Annual Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Conference will be held Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, March 12, 13 & 14, 2025, at the Margaritaville Lake Resort in Osage Beach, MO. More than 800 law enforcement officers, other first responders and behavioral health professionals are expected to attend. The purpose of CIT is to address the challenges that often arise when law enforcement officers encounter individuals with behavioral health conditions in crisis situations.
This year’s conference will also include a crisis summit featuring crisis resources such as 988, mobile crisis response, and behavioral health crisis centers. There will also be award recognitions of individuals from across the state including the Dr. Rick Gowdy Legacy Award, Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, Community Behavioral Health Liaison of the Year, Champion of the Year, Front Line Professional of the Year, the Lauren Moyer Legacy Award, and the Timothy D. Conroy Peer Advocate of the Year. Very deserving professionals will be recognized during the awards ceremony Friday afternoon.
