Janesville Mobilizing 4 Change (JM4C)

Remember there is always someone available.

The Janesville Police Department Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) was developed to enhance the safety and well-being of individuals experiencing mental health crises while providing effective, compassionate, and appropriate police responses.

The Janesville Police Department Crisis Intervention Team continues to foster partnerships with mental health professionals, community organizations, and social service agencies to ensure that individuals in crisis receive the necessary support and resources.

The Janesville Police Department has implemented a full-time social worker from Rock County Crisis to work alongside our officers and provide immediate, on-site assistance during mental health-related calls.

For questions or additional information regarding Crisis Intervention contact Rock County Crisis and Connections Line at 608-757-5025 or visit their website at:
