Background:
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes §626.8469, all licensed peace officers within the State of Minnesota are mandated to complete training in Crisis Intervention and Mental Illness Crises (CIMIC) as well as Conflict Management and Mediation.
Effective July 1, 2021, Minnesota Statutes §626.8467 was amended to require that such mandated training be delivered only by an entity approved by the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). In accordance with the POST Board’s list of approved providers for mandatory training, the Barbara Schneider Foundation is authorized to deliver a 40-Hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training program.
The agreement between the Hennepin County and the Barbara Schneider Foundation establishes the Foundation as the provider of CIT training services for Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) peace officers. The CIT training services provided under this Agreement are deemed compliant with all statutory and regulatory requirements set forth by the MN POST Board and satisfies learning objectives required for CIMIC and for Conflict Management and Mediation.
The current resolution seeks an increase of $75,000 for a new total not to exceed amount of $300,000. Funds for the $75,000 are included in the Fiscal Year 2027 budget proposal, and the agreement remains subject to annual appropriation by the Board
