Seneca Falls Police Officer Bryce Rumfelt has completed a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, equipping him with vital skills to handle mental health crises. This training, a collaboration between law enforcement and mental health professionals, emphasizes de-escalation and effective communication.
