Knowing the warning signs of a mental health emergency, such as threat of suicide or harm to others, is important when seeking help. When calling a Tulare County Police Department, it is important to ask for a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) officer. The CIT officers are specially trained to assist individuals with mental illness and partner with the Tulare County Mental Health Psychiatric Emergency Team.
In a mental health emergency, the individual in crisis may be taken to an emergency room for assessment. When calling for information about your loved one, ask to be transferred to the Emergency Department.
