Dan R. Pilkington Provides Training to Local Law Enforcement

Dan R. Pilkington assisted local law enforcement officers by providing training on use of force and other constitutional claims as part of a course of Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training in March. CIT is a first-responder model of police-based crisis intervention with community, health care and advocacy partnerships. CIT provides 40 hours of specialized training for problem solving and de-escalating crisis situations with individuals who have a mental illness. The training complies with the requirements of the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (P.O.S.T.), which serves as the primary regulatory body for Tennessee law enforcement.
