***Mission Statement***
As police officers we took an oath to protect and serve. As instructors we took on the responsibility to train officers, so that they may best take care of the general public and get safely home at the end of each shift. With this course we empower you and your team with the knowledge and skills to ensure that everyone can get home to their families each day, especially in the event of a Crisis Situation.
Who are we?
| WE ARE YOUR SOURCE FOR CIT TRAINING HOURS! |
appliedCID is headed by 2 Lead instructors, Ernest Stevens & Oren Skurnik. Both are active, real world law enforcement officers and currently work on the streets of South Texas.
Combined, they have over 16 years experience as Crisis Intervention Training Instructors, teaching other police officers the skills that are required to deal with individuals with mental illness who are in crisis. They have trained hundreds of officers with the techniques and skill now offered for the first time to the general public.
Read more about the instructors on the “INSTRUCTORS” page.
What do we offer?
appliedCID training specializes in de-escalation of disruptive and assaultive behaviors in the workplace. Participants will be taught such skills as effective communication, assessment of a crisis, how to respond to a crisis, as well as an overview of identifying individuals with a mental illness.
This training is provided by Licensed Mental Health Police Officers, and until now, was only available to Law Enforcement Professionals. The training is highly effective in the areas of safety, non-violent confrontation and crisis intervention. It will also benefit your staff in the area of customer service by providing them with the techniques required for ‘effective communication’.
There is no way to predict when or what would send a person into crisis. In Texas alone, there are 4.3 million people living with “some form of mental health disorder.” With 24.3 million people living in Texas, you or your staff have a 1 in 6 chance of coming across an individual with a mental illness every time you interact with another individual.
The proven training of appliedCID will assist you to feel more confident when confronted with such a situation, and it will help you maintain a safe and manageable work environment as well.

of our website, and come find out what types of courses and seminars we offer. We will be glad to create a program that works within the parameters of your training program. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions and concerns you may have, by going to our “CONTACT US” page.
Remember: A crisis can happen at any moment, in any location, for any reason. Being able to deal with a crisis is difficult if you go into crisis as well. Having the training, and being confident in that training, will make sure that you and your staff don’t go into crisis.
We hope to hear from you soon and look forward to working with you.
