ACTIVATING THE TEAM

KCIT can be accessed 24 hours a day through the Office of the Victim Advocate. An official request or invitation should come from someone with authority at the site of the criminal incident. Generally, team members can respond within 24 hours. The individual or agency requesting KCIT may be asked to assist the team leader in arranging overnight accommodations. In addition, KCIT will require assistance in locating a private area in a public building to provide training to local community members and to hold group crisis intervention sessions for crime victims.
