L.A. Mayor's Crisis Response Team Program (CRT) is now recruiting "civilian" volunteers.
The Crisis Response Team (CRT) program is composed of trained "civilian" community volunteers who respond to traumatic incidents at the request of the L.A. Police & Fire Departments. CRT volunteers provide immediate on-scene crisis intervention, attend to urgent victim comfort needs, acts as a liaison between the victim and emergency personnel, and give referrals to victims and their families affected by a death, a serious injury, a violent crime or other traumatic incidents. These incidents include homicides, suicides, serious traffic accidents, natural deaths and multi-casualty incidents. The CRT program is managed by the Mayor’s Office of Homeland Security & Public Safety in collaboration with the City’s Fire and Police Departments.
The seven-week training program begins on March 4 till April 17, 2013, and will take place on each Monday & Wednesday evening at the L.A. Police Headquarters in downtown L.A. We are particularly in need of "civilian" volunteers with bilingual capability in Spanish and Korean.
