Tactical Unit - Krisis Intervention Team (KIT)

The Krisis Intervention Team (K.I.T.) was first conceived and organized in 1996 after an influx of narcotics crime and clandestine laboratory activity in Grundy County. K.I.T. is a multi-jurisdictional tactical team made up of Trenton Police Officers and Grundy County Deputies.

Basic training was conducted in 1997 for the original six team members (see photograph) by the Association of Professional Trainers (A.P.T.).

In addition to more training with A.P.T., the Krisis Intervention Team has received training with the National Tactical Officers Association, Fort Leonard Wood, and the Law Enforcement Training Institute.

The Krisis Intervention Team maintains a minimum of eight hours monthly in-service training and participates in joint training with other tactical teams.

D.A.R.E.

D.A.R.E. is an acronym that stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. In 1983, the Los Angeles Police Department developed the D.A.R.E. Program in partnership with the Los Angeles Unified School District. D.A.R.E. is a preventive program focused on school age children.

The Trenton D.A.R.E. Program began in 1988. In our program, a specially trained police officer goes into 5th, 7th, and 9th Grade classrooms of the Trenton R-9 School District and teach the 17-week D.A.R.E. Core Program. During this time, the students meet with the D.A.R.E. Officer once each week. One of the primary goals of the program is to teach young people the skills necessary to resist the peer pressure and experiment with harmful drugs. The D.A.R.E. Program also emphasizes conflict resolution skills in the an effort to reduce violence among young people. The D.A.R.E. Officer uses a variety of activity-oriented techniques to involve students in group discussions, an exchange of ideas and feelings, and some role-playing exercises. At the conclusion of the program, an evening D.A.R.E. Graduation Ceremony is held which includes parents, law enforcement officers, and members of the community.

In addition to the 5th Grade D.A.R.E. Core Program, an abbreviated program is presented to all Kindergarten through Fourth Grade students. This introductory program provides valuable information to the younger students including such topics as stranger danger, drugs, personal safety, and conflict resolution.
